• Delete as per above. not that an article on this topic couldn't exist, but this one has little or nothing worth keeping, even the intro is technical and manualish.Dsol 02:10, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per Howard and Dsol. A real article on this topic should only tell what makes these sockets different from sockets in general and then point to relevant stuff on the web or on paper. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 21:23, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Hey guys, give me a break. There are entries on berkeley sockets and Windows sockets that give most of the API away, or have stubs for API to be added. The windows sockets article is largely obsolete as it is being replaced by the topic of this article. This article even directs people to the other sockets SDK API and MFC. I don't have a problem with folks jumping all over this thing and re-writing it, but I don't see how deleting it outright is going to improve things. If this thing were the size of a textbook, I'd understand, but it's no bigger than the other sockets articles. Please rewrite or improve it, don't delete it.User:wiarthurhu 14 Nov 2005, I'm the original author and I'm teaching a class in .NET sockets.
