no.  QKS was one of a number of companies and institutions that ported their
stuff on top of an early pre-beta version of .NET

Isn't the .NET technology based on QKS' Smalltalk Agents?

imagine the "innovation"... taking a now 20 year old technology
and basing a product strategy on it?

BTW, I was reminded this weekend of the value of longevity of 
certain technologies, in this case film. The remark was that any
100 year old negative could be used to make a picture. Can we say 
that about computer media?
