You know, if we could just go back and make that un-happen, we probably would have built an actual internet application platform. That probably would have been a lot better than the layers of hackery that we deal with now, but ok, that's pure speculation.

Perhaps, but that doesn't mean it would be better.

Look at how many over-engineered platforms/frameworks Microsoft made, and it just ended up being over-complicated or reached a point where it was no longer worth continuing.
