Officially,. .NET "is the Microsoft XML Web services platform, a way of working that allow you to create software as a service." At least that's what the press release says.Back here in real life, the whole .NET thing is really just a Microsoft vision based on distributed computing, a dream of being able to share information over the Internet regardless of operating system, device or programming language.

but for me .NET is just a clone of a JAVA wherein you can run one program to a multi platform, I've heared they hire one Suns personnel to design this .NET thing.
