Not quite true.  Check this out. http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/
It doesn't do all the .NET languages (C# only I think)  I am sure there will
be more coming out.

It's not just a brand name.  I don't remember all the
details but it is a web based operating environment
that is needed for the .net applications to run in.
Sort of like needing a Java Application server to run
Java. 

Currently, you can go to Microsoft and get a free .net
download that can be installed on top of Windows 2000
or NT and will run in conjuction with MS IIS server to
enable running the .net programs.  It is in direct
competition with J2EE. And has taken a lot of ideas
from J2EE.

I'm not sure where the MS GUI applications differ from
the previous applications, other than VB.net is now
compiled into object code.  Supposedly now it should
be almost as efficient to run an VB.net and C++ and
get similar results.

Before this, Microsoft had no programming product that
could compete with J2EE.  All they really had was ASP
that is interpreted, not like JSP that is compiled.

If you learn .net programming, you can generate some
nice applications on the windows platform only.  If
you learn Java, J2EE, you can do the same on all
platforms.

That's why I'm going the direction of Java & RPG on
iSeries.

(i.e. Studio.net) with Java (& RPG) you get as many as
you want.
