Title: Warm and fuzzy feeling for sale
Review: I did not spend enough time reading this book - in the bookstore, that is. I was looking for "an expert's unbiased appraisal of Microsoft's object technologies". This is what it actually says on the back cover and what made me get it - alas too quickly.The book is _very_ biased, and instead of an appraisal, you get the praise of Microsoft's object technologies - something MS are very good at themselves, thank you. I was looking for an unbiased opinion to contrast the MS marketing hype, and instead, got more of the same.The book is not, in my opinion, written by an expert either. Mr. Sessions talks about a lot of topics he seems only remotely familiar with.If you want to buy the warm and fuzzy feeling of knowing where MS and the IT world at large is headed to, the warm and fuzzly feeling of knowing everything about COM/DCOM/MTS/... that you need to know, get this book.
