Re: What does Microsoft write in .Net?

SQL Server Management Studio is written in .NET.

There are most certainly others, but that is one.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it doesn't look like Microsoft writes a
lot of apps in .Net (although they certainly push it for others).

What does MS write using pure .Net?

If applications like Symantec's antivirus, NeatReciepts or Franklin
Covey's PlanPlus for Windows is any guide, .Net applications are slow and
clunky. But, maybe the developers of these apps simply don't know how to
write a decent app with .Net.

Microsoft should know how to write killer .Net apps. So, where are they?

And, if Microsoft can't write killer .Net apps, is it any wonder that
nobody else can?
