It is trivial, session can be persistent and not persistent.
Persistent can be restarted with no problem.
You are talking here about ABC that was passed years ago.

So I uses it only in that case. The ability to speak XML
is not limited to .NET.

That is your problem. I mostly use my own libs
but sometimes go to 3rd party for some highly
specialised stuff.

You are talking about it as it is only available for
.NET while in reality it is a trivial part accessible
from nearly any language with plenty of libs
again for advansed features.

Nothing that is what company supposed to do, but
as an intelligent person you are not supposed
to eat it bluntly. They should work for you/customer,
not the other way

Again it is Borland's problem, not mine

Well you do not know me, do you? I spent half of my life in
science and have developed and dealt with the subjects that are far
more complicated then computer language. After that it is hard to me
to get excited by operator overloading for example.

What excites me is that I am capable of creating products
that are being used for real people's needs and able to
make a living by doing so. When creating product I choose the
technology that gives me most bang for the bug. Currently
.NET is not the candidate.
