Richard grimes about .NET

I am sure everyone who cares about .NET has read this and read this and this as well.
What I find amazing is not that Richard complained about large libraries and Avalon and Microsoft intentions. That can be expected from someone who has been working with .NET for a long time to let their steam off. I am not surprised about the rebuttal by Dan or by Scott who are rightfully indignant about Richards claims in some regards. The ones that I am surprised about are the attacks by other posters. There are some posts in these trails that are downright insulting to Richard. Richard has been an excellent author who as provided many great articles about COM to MTS to .NET to Whidbey. I dont think attacking him is fair. I just found this fusion tutorial by Richard.
I am sorry that Richard feels this strongly about .NET and the way Microsoft is going. Hopefully, Longhorn beta might change his mind and make him realize that Microsoft is not all that bad. :)
