ANALYST REPORT:

The Burton Group has released a research paper evaluating the Spring portfolio

Some highlights related to Spring.NET include:

"Organizations invested in .NET should similarly investigate Spring.NET" "Organizations using Active Server Pages for .NET (ASP.NET) should likewise evaluate Spring.NET's web features." "Spring.NET can provide a consistent cross-platform programming model for enterprises invested in both Java and .NET development, and it is especially valuable to enterprises with developers cross-trained on both platforms. Spring.NET is also viewed favorably by Microsoft; its project lead was named a Microsoft Most Valued Professional in 2007."
