Except that C# 3 has been out for quite a long time and I haven't seen
any indication that ECMA is about to come out with a new version of the
spec. Realistically, what could they actually change about it, in terms
of behaviour, after the vastly dominant compiler has been out for a
while?

Ratification by a standards body does not confer ownership which is a term
which has legal and lawful implications. It would be ridiculous for
Microsoft to turn ownership over to a 3rd party considering the actual
meaning of the word in the legal context as it could then be used against
them lawfully.
If you have a link to the definitive statement of --ownership-- I would like
to see it and read it as I consider the statement to be an incredulous
assumption.

Actually, Michael's comment is appropriate.
By releasing the standard to ECMA and the ISO, Microsoft has relinquished
proprietary rights to "control" C# to a body that will consider suggested
changes properly submitted by any entity. So, while Micheal's wording may
not please you, his meaning is accurate, IMHO.
Thanks everybody.

ROFL Which is why it has become a stereotype rationalizing why it is wise to
keep software developers as far away from business decisions as possible.
Uh, do you think that grenade is still live or is that just your IMHO?
Mark,
That is what you mean with own.
Microsoft owns Visual Studio and all what is about C# inside that or to say
it easier by instance Visual C# Express.
However, Microsoft cannot create themselves alone new possibilities in the
language C# as they can in VB.
Therefore Visual C# 3.0 misses some parts which are now in VB9.
Don't understand me wrong, this can be a benefit for C#.
I among those which think about the opposite as I have seen Cobol slowly
dying because the owners could not go with the progression in hardware.
Therefore Cobol, which was a great programming language for the time it
started, was keeping its old possibilities only based on batch computing.

Hi everyone,
Just out of curiosity I recently pointed one of my hand-typed pages at the W3
Validator, and my hand-typed code was just ripped to shreds. Then I pointed
some major sites (microsoft.com, cnn.com, etc.) at the W3 Validator; to my
surprise none of them passed.
Doesn't anyone care anymore, or are the standards more-or-less looked at as
guidlines for web design?

I realize that I need to buy Office 2000 Dev Tools and I saw it for
