I didn't make a statement one way or the other about which is the market leader. I asked you to back up your statements with evidence.

IMO, .Net is the future for Windows programming. Java is the leader for non-Windows platforms.

.Net is very much cross platform. You can create Web apps that run on multiple browsers. Have you seen Silverlight? Have you seen the Mono Project?

Cross platform is not all it's cracked up to be. It has very real issues that are hard to solve. Many business owners don't understand this.


>True .Net is not a language. But job listings request java or .Net and java is way ahead. Also can you prove .Net is the market leader?

>Craig do you believe .Net is the future? I don't think many of us are sold on .Net. Somebody has to show me that it provides more to the client than other languages. It's not cross platform and more of my client are demanding it.
