Crazy, isn't it. I thought so too as I was reading an article about how a China based company will be building .NET-based enterprise and e-government packages for the Chinese market. Towards the end of the article, it had a link to an older article about Microsoft's .NET initiative.
Since this article was written in 2001, its quite obvious that a lot has changed since then. Its just kind of funny to look back at the ".NET Initiative" that Microsoft went forth with to make anything and everything ".NET." Lets not forget the big kicker of the the ".NET Initiative" were Web Services, and how they had to be integrated with everything. Then there was #4 listed, rebranding their servers to .NET Enterprise Servers, boy am I glad that didn't go through.
Ohh, how things have changed.

well, yes, it has changed, I remember my own initial confusion over .net over a year ago. even now adays, I meet a lot of people working with vb6 who are still confused about .net and think its something to do with web services and xml only (of course they still have no idea what a web service is, or why is xml appearing everywhere).
