.NET strategy




"Microsoft .NET" redirects here. For the frameworks, see .NET Framework and .NET Core.


The .NET strategy was a long-term Microsoft software development and marketing plan, envisioned in late 1990s. Former Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer, described it as Microsoft's "most ambitious undertaking since Internet Strategy Day in 1995". It involved massive changes across all Microsoft products that enable cooperation, interoperability and content embedding. In support of this strategy, between 2000 and 2002, Microsoft added ".NET" branding to several of its works, including Visual Studio .NET, Visual Basic .NET, .NET Passport, .NET My Services, .NET Framework, ASP.NET and ADO.NET. A Windows .NET Server was also announced. Microsoft had plans to include Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange Server and MSN into this strategy.[1][2][3][4][5]


By 2003, however, the .NET strategy had dwindled into a failed branding campaign because the brand had failed to articulate what Microsoft had in mind in the first place. As such, Windows .NET Server was released under the title of Windows Server 2003.[6] Since then, Visual Studio and .NET Passport have been stripped of ".NET" in their brandings. However, Microsoft and the rest of the computing industry use ".NET" to indicate close association with .NET Framework, e.g. .NET Compiler Platform, .NET Foundation and .NET Reflector.
