The reality is that Microsoft .NET Framework is bloated, not backwards compatible, doesn't run on other platforms, and creates massive problems and headaches for end users. Microsoft .NET Framework runs primarily on Microsoft Windows and does offer language interoperability across several programming languages. The reality is that Microsoft .NET Framework is bloated, not backwards compatible, doesn't run on other platforms, and creates computer problems resulting in headaches for end users. Microsoft .NET Framework runs primarily on Microsoft Windows and does offer language interoperability across several programming languages, however, is not at all cross platform. It doesn't function as advertised nor does it do what was originally promised. Microsoft recognized the power of Sun Microsystems Java too late in the game. If a developer creates software in Java, it can be made entirely cross platform. This means that the same program can run on, for example, Microsoft Windows XP and Redhat Linux XFree86. If a developer creates a handy program in Java and cross platform, a Macintosh user can enjoy using the same software that a Microsoft Window user has. Microsoft announced that Microsoft .NET would be the challenger to Java. All Visual BASIC and Microsoft C++ coders would have to migrate to the .NET Platform and learn to program in the Microsoft Object Oriented model.Microsoft recognized the power of Sun Microsystems Java, and JDK, too late in the game.

If a developer creates a handy program in Java, a Macintosh user can enjoy using the same program that a Microsoft Window user can. Microsoft announced that Microsoft .NET would be the big challenger to Java. All Visual BASIC and Microsoft C++ coders would have to migrate to the .NET Platform and learn to program in the Microsoft Object Oriented model. Coders were promised the painful transition would be worthwhile for a variety of reasons, including the promise of a cross platform utopia.
