Hi all,
Someone asked me off list to expound on these two alternatives to help select which would be better for a new project. First of all, I'm not a big OOP fan for systems software. I believe it is wrong to push either too far down into automation software. These should stay on a seperate powerful host that links to the control software with something far more efficient and suited for the task so the actual control software can be that much better in engineering terms. As far as which to use at the proper level, engineering dictates Open and cross platform, only marketing demands you serve the monopoly. It's as simple as that. You have to join the evil empire to play with them. And yes, that's a bad thing.
Regards
