Market Research Corporation Gartner said that it is planned to prepare for the existing software to the .NET platform transplantation, and the cost of transplantation may be greater than the original development cost. According to the cost mode of Gartner, the cost of transplanting the original Windows application to the .NET platform can reach 40% -60% when developing software. Gartner's Mark said, in general, the cost of transplantation software is not so high, but .net is not just a new version of Windows. He said that people will mistakenly think that transplantation to the .NET platform is similar to other transplants, but the fact is not the case. Microsoft Visual Basic.NET Product Manager Baxhn made an objection to Gartner's conclusions. When he said to the .NET platform, most applications did not have errors, so actual transplantation cost ratio. Gartner is estimated to be much lower. Gartner does not only include the transplant of the code, but also considering the loss of training and production efficiency. Bixhn said that he believes that training and production efficiency is not serious. Microsoft's .NET plans include new Windows operating systems, server software, development tools, and infrastructure that makes applications more to the Internet, which supports a new technology that supports web services. Despite this, Marker predicts that from a long time, the use .NET development new application helps to improve productivity and efficiency. He said that in the life cycle of the application, .NET may reduce 20% cost than the original technology, within 3-5 years, users can make up for the cost of transplantation. Mark also pointed out that there are still other problems to the .NET platform transplant, the biggest problem is safe. Although Gates will be safely seen as Microsoft's first priority task, it is not much changeable in the security of Microsoft products, the security of IIS .NET platform is not better than IIS ASP.
