If MS resisted the temptation to play proprietary with.NET
that's a big if
It appears to me that.NET is trying to compete primarily with the server side. Unless you're running Windows Server 2003, your server will never truly be able to fully & completely interact with say, AD, MSSQL, COM+ and other services that incidentally are quite mature, very well designed and platform independent. MS is wholly dependent on you and your organisation buying the very latest, so connecting to legacy mainframes etc. will not be possible. That's a guarantee.
.NET has nothing to do with the IDE, nor did the OP say anything about it. So if anyone is lacking a clue, that'd be you.
Try developing a.NET application without the IDE. I said that because that's the first thing that the.NET fanbois mention. "The IDE makes me so productive! It's so intuitive! It looks so good! I can deploy a poorly thought out web service in 10 minutes!"
Your sidenote is interesting, because if you're looking for total lock-in, it definitely is the way to go. Apparently the security patches will cost as well, sooner or later. Whatever. Your final paragraph doesn't really have any substance. J2EE runs fine on windows, whereas.NET only runs on windows. I've yet to see vaporware "kill" anything.

do you ever wonder why this place is turning to shit these days? it's because of astro-turfers such as you. You have no fucking clue whatsoever, and the importance of the IDE looking good is a higher priority than function and correctness. one day (if you graduate) you'll be browsing the job columns on your bedding and wondering where.NET went wrong

Windows has to work with a large variety of hardware and software.
wrong. They expose API's so that hardware manufacturers can develop their own drivers. So it comes down to system design, and quite frankly, if only they hired the ones that just didn't smoke crack, they wouldn't have so many problems
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - trainee witch Hermione was found dead in Hogwarts this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Harry Potter community will miss her - even if you didn't enjoy her work, there's no denying her contributions to making the author very rich. Truly a Muggle icon.
yeah i wonder what kind of backlash this could inspire

I'd would have thought it would be a lot cheaper to record one song, put it out there, collect micropayments or whatever, which pays for the cost of recording another one or two songs, wash, rinse, repeat. Who needs the RIAA in this scenario?
Another factor is the falling costs involved in recording music. For example, nowadays it's easy to use a decent soundcard to create the effects that a $2500 effects unit (or daisy-chaining crappy $50 stomp pedals) to get a variety of decent sounds coming from the $5000 Marshall stack. Yeah, nothing sounds exactly like the real deal in hardware, but we're talking mp3 & ogg, near enough is good enough.
easy to talk about growing the company indefinitely when you've got a microscopic share of the entire computer hardware (and even smaller software) market. MS, on the other hand...

btw, your website sucks
my wife would suggest that a counter be part of the protocol, and the ability to (zap me) let me know i've had enough to drink
and think about the poor subscribers. imagine giving your grandma the money to buy you aforementioned surprise

i get those all the time at work, with an intel extreme gfx card. i'd be interested to know what other cards get the blame for that error
I missed the part when you explain why I need IE, Messenger & Outlook Express on a server?
sounds good in theory. in practice it's a little unreasonable to have to set maximum_object_size to well over 50MB (IE 6 SP anyone?)
you've never heard of a drop bear?
how do you put your head back in shape after the transmission has fallen on it?
most people would realise the futility within a week. slashdot is all about feeling good about using linux, commonsense and reality aside
either you and your moderator lack comprehension skills, or mysql now supports mssql.
I hit a snag: what's the command to dump a running MSSQL server into a file on UNIX?
that's better odds than powerball
it's not a bug, it's a feature. duh.
your troll generator is sexist
