There was some "negative" comments on this fact in InfoWorld (http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/01/29/HNfactories_1.html). I have made some comments on this article and the Software Factory and Software Product Lines approaches in my blog.
"I guess [Software Factories are] relatively unimportant in the grand scheme of things," said DeMichillie. He seems to be equating software factories with programming technologies: LINQ, object technology, dlls. He missed the point: software factories are about how you organize the programming, not what technology you use to do it. If your problem is how to get economies of scope in large scale software development, then dlls, objects, LINQ or any other component technology won't solve it.
