I know, but I don't want to get tied to proprietary technologies (i.e.
Microsoft). I was forced to switch the GUI (client application) from
SWING to C#, because Java simply could not "get its act together" in
terms of sheer performance on the desktop. I am moving from a J2EE
backend implementation because I cant maintain/support it personally
going forward - but I do not want to have to use IIS/ SQL Server and pay
$'000s in subscription fees - I am a small company and I simply cannot
afford that.
