Horribly biased article

This article seems to be horribly biased to me, and inaccurate as well:

  • It seems to be claiming that Objective C is a naturally superior language to anything else, and that because PDO was written in Objective C it is substantially better.
  • The claim that PDO was ignored because it didn't work with C++ and everyone ignored anything that didn't use C++ even if it was "better" is laughable
  • It seems to take every opportunity possible to take a swipe at MS's COM, OLE and DCOM technologies, which is described as having "limited functionality" (without source). It also seems to get the history of COM wrong; COM was not evolved from OLE, but written as a basis for a new implementation of OLE (OLE2).
  • The description of CORBA as being larger and requiring more code can probably be substantiated, but needs a source.

Also needs substantial cleanup work by somebody familiar with the subject. Text like "At the time PDO was [...]" with no indication of what time is being discussed. JulesH 18:57, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
