    Well, but what does .NET really offer?

    Is there any real problem that couldn't be solved before and can be solved with .NET? I don't see it.

    Java solved the problem of cross-platform compatibility. It runs everywhere on every platform, no other platform offers that (and neither does .NET).

    .NET is just a evolutionary improvement over Visual Basic: A programming solution for Microsoft-only shops.

    There is no need to reinvent the wheel for enterprise solutions and use do-it-yourself
    Its costly and takes a lot of time.

    For Enterprise solutions - just go with java.

    Most people seams to be doing just that.

    No, it's time for the users to move on.
