Java has a much fancier and faster runtime, has better tools, has a massive choice of 3rd party libraries for *anything*, runs on more systems and hardware, has much more support across companies in the computing technology industry and it's open source..NET has a really nice IDE in Visual Studio (almost as good as Eclipse) but it's Windows only. It also has C# which has some nice features, but unfortunately is like Java with a giant spoiler and neon lights attached to it.
Mono is a shitty knock off of.NET. It's not really compatible in the vast majority of cases, it's basically "Managed Wine." I think Mono has it's purposes, if you really need to get a.NET app working on Linux by any means, but like Wine it's really the last resort if you have no other choice.
They could be, you'd just need a Java frontend to interface with the rest of the system.
The reason Android uses a variant of Java is that it simplifies development when you don't know what architecture(s) your application is going to run on. It also simplifies development... Java has probably the most resources, tool and reference wise, of any language or platform.
This is a perfect example of a karma whore. I hope anyone who read it learned their lesson. Unlikely, since anyone who found it interesting is likely a moron.
Sun's Java implementation has a much better garbage collector and has been around a lot longer than.NET, so it shouldn't be too surprising it's faster.
For the WORA part, what you're saying is.... Java isn't WORA if you don't use Java. I think you deserve a prize for that one!

What kind of fruity colleges are you referring to?
Practically every college on the planet teaches Java and C++....

Shouldn't that have read "sleep next to Ballmer," sopssa?
What are these Google Legs you spreak of?
I think he was looking for more a preemptive block, not so much something you do after you've seen the ads already.
Kind of like a Shoryuken to web advertising's Hadouken.
I'm pretty sure they have a fucking sweet portfolio to show prospective employers.
You can tell he's Russian?

You realize the GOLD PLATED version of the N95 or whatever is cheaper than the N900 right?
And promotes piracy!
You know.
Yo dawg, we heard yall use Linux....
OS next.
Yeah... buy a new phone.
Why do you say that, fatty?

Agreed, Swing is a fucking travesty.

Java is not a *just* a language either.
There is a language called "Java," however.
You still fail it.
The JVM is most comparable to the CLR.
Java vs .NET is a perfectly valid comparison.
Your post fails, do not pass go, do not collection $200.
OMG, my search:

Java is truly dead!

It's a clone of Java. You should probably take that into consideration.
lol, this whole thread is overrun by Microsoft astroturfers.
Slashdot should start posting hostnames with each post.
Qt is a gui library you dolt.
It's accurate, Mono really is Open Source AIDS.
It's contagious and is going to take a long time to kill, so it leaves plenty of time to spread.
Android uses Java and tools from the Java ecosystem heavily. And it's really starting to become popular.
Looks like old Stevarino's gonna be eating crow as Android surpasses the iPhone as the smartphone to get eh?
The JVM has outperformed .NET by a large margin since .NET was created. It's somewhat of a myth, probably perpetrated by Microsoft.
Java's WORA selling point has worked extremely well overall, stop spreading uninformed FUD.
