The idea of Microsoft .Net is not new. Earlier the codename of the project was Next Generation Windows Services (NGWS). The concept contained the elaboration of new versions of the Windows system; Microsoft Office tools, Microsoft DNA servers, MSN services and also the Visual Studio programming package. Bill Gates, who wanted to devote himself fully to that enterprise, took up the duties of the main programming architect in January and said that Microsoft and its trade partners would lay the foundations of “the Internet of the new generation”. Naturally there were many opponents to that idea who regarded it as an attempt to restrict the freedom and the privacy on the net. Events that shocked the world lately, such as the terrorist attacks in the USA, can really influence the shape of the new Internet. After these tragic events no one is sure any more whether we should be anonymous while using the services of the global network. The .NET Strategy is already much more visible in Microsoft products, so it is high time to look at what the wind of change is going to bring from Redmond.
The .NET platform will provide for easier use of computers, i.e. quicker and simpler access to necessary applications, unfailing communication and better security. These functions would all use the newest Internet standards i.e. the XML language (Extensible Markup Language) and the technology of ensuring the confidentiality based on the P3P specification.
