We will have our own Authentication system that will
allow the customer to choose where to puth their data.
fo rsome one to use our system it will not be
nessisary for that person to use MS for anything. We
are a competitor to MS's .NET. We will have downward
compatability with .NET applications however, but that
only requires us to be able to run the software, not
use the .NET infrastructure.
