As a system administrator you probably know the term “DLL Hell“. Functions of a DLL (dynamic link library) can be invoked by different programs. If the setup of a new application exchanges the DLL with a newer version, other applications might fail. I didn’t experience many DLL related problems recently, but it is certainly good news for system administrators that with .NET and its Global Assembly Cache (GAC) the times in DLL hell are finally over. If you’re a heavy .Netal fan you might enjoy the DLL Hell song which is a song of praise for a new era to come.
