With in the first 5 minutes of using Writely I noticed the URL to a doc I was editing: http://www.writely.com/Doc.aspx?id=…. Do you see what I see? Writley is using the .aspx file extension which means it is built on ASP.NET, Microsofts’ pride and joy.

I don’t know how to react to this? On one hand I am appalled that Google would use a Microsoft Product but on the other hand what a thumb-to-the-nose at Microsoft.

“Hey Bill, Check us out. We can build (or buy) better stuff with .NET than you could ever dream of!”, shouts Google.
