With ASP.NET 2.0, Microsoft ships a session management implementation that look like a nice solution. Sadly, however, it looks like this is not designed for reusability. It seems to be tightly coupled to ASP and not usable outside of web application. We are currently developing a component framework for .NET. Thus we need session management, and we need it for normal client-server applications, too. Sure enough, we do not want to create a new session management implementation if we don't have to....

Now what do you think of this? Sun has, according to some news tickers, made a loss of about $11 Mio. Sure, that's no nice news, but hey, here's the better part: Scott G. McNealy, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, gets a bonus of $1,111,250. That's about 10% of the loss.. not bad, isn't it? The full board of directors gets bonus payments worth $1,889,563. And the funniest thing about this is that they actually missed their own goals... I guess I must become a Sun manager...
