I'm not a directly Microsoft hater, but as far as i've been reading about
.NET is the only new improvement in .NET vs. Java, is that you can write in
different programming languages.

I'm driking coffee right now. But back on topic, I don't see any good
things about .NET, in these points:

   * .NET apps isn't portable to other operating systems (other than MS's),
     Java is that..
   * .NET is not based on open standards (afaik).
   * .NET is making redudant code (4th generation of programming language).  

There might be more :)

        Bo
