Interesting .Net / Java questions answered by MSFT Architect

Dave Schmidt was sent some pretty tough questions from a customer that were obviously slated toward using Java over .Net.  David responded to the questions and decided to post them to his blog since he spent so much time responding.  Although he is a Microsoft employee (take that with what you will) he does have some great points on some of the questions.  Others I think I could have answered better.  I almost missed the document he attached about .Net Momentum Evidence which was at the bottom of the post.  The most interesting section in this document to me was the "Customer Endorsement of .Net over Java-based Alternatives".

.Net Developers Guide to Identity

Have you ever wondered how windows credentials and Kerberos worked under the hood and how to leverage that as a .Net developer?  What about Smart Cards, or the new up and coming addition to Vista called “InfoCard”?  Did you know there was a tool to assist in building roles for your applications called Azman?  Or better yet what is PKI or Federated Services?

I think you get the idea, there are tons of things .Net developers should be aware of when it comes to securing our applications.  Keith Brown from PluralSight.Com has an MSDN article title .Net Developers Guide to Identity that covers all of this and more.  Extremely well written and even has code samples where applicable.
