為何.NET叫.NET?


若你在Google搜尋的話,便發現很多人都有同一個疑問 - Why was .NET called .NET?

.NET這個名稱,既不Search Engine family,作為Logo/Domain中的一員,又因為那一個Dot - "."太細小或字眼問題,要轉成Dot或放大那一點。
雖然時至今日大家都叫慣叫熟,但我都覺得應該可以有更好的命名。

剛剛又看到一名國外Blogger寫有關的文章 - Why was .NET called .NET?

最多人認同的答案在StackOverFlow - Why was .NET called .NET?
.NET enabled Microsoft's marketing people to emphasise the "Network"-ing aspect of its technologies, and was also a reaction to the marketing blitz by Sun Microsystems in the late 1990s whose theme was "The network is the computer". The term "Dot-Com" was synonymous with the Internet that time, and "Dot-NET" was a play on that term.
或多或少我都同認的,90年代正值Internet發展年代,叫".NET",有點意識流,令人感覺.NET Framework不單是Offline本機的技術,而是關聯到Internet。
