Makes sense, right? RoR directly competes with ASP.net and 37Signals with Sharepoint, Project, etc.

I'm sure a lawyer just went to a programmer and said "List N competitors of Product X" ...


Building the web 2.0 phenomenon that is RoR? No biggie.

Getting X million people to use your web apps? Meh.

Microsoft lists you as competition. Now you've arrived. :)

Edit: tongue firmly planted in cheek, in case you couldn't tell...


Or departed, as the case may be...


They also identify gOffice, built with ASP.NET. Not sure what this is supposed to mean other than... Microsoft has competition?


"or other small projects"... dhh you going to let them say that??


Microsoft Basecamp coming soon.
