.Net vs Java

[Moonraker]

After working extensively with .Net and Java, these are the differences I
see:

Java does not have Reflection.Emit
But it does have Reflection.

That's okay so far, because most programmers are too dumb to use
Reflection.Emit.

Visual Studio .net is the easiest way to create web services.

Windows.Forms, while easy to create, are hopelessly behind other toolkits
such as Swing and Gtk.

Have you tried Mono as replacement for .net?
Some of the 200 odd liveCDs that boot from CD
and run without having to install come with mono already working.

All free and done up techies with open source source code
to configure and modify to heart's content.

Yes, I am a huge fan of mono!

I get mine straight from the source: Suse.

There is a Red Carpet channel so it can be easily updated.

Lately I've been fascinated with developing UIs in Glade -- an XML based
structure for defining forms that can operate with mono/c#. It's
obviously 2 years ahead of AXML.
