IMO, .Net is just a bussiness buzz from M$ to attract their customers

technically, I saw nothing new in the .Net technology. It's just a
combination of Java (on the system architecture) and Delphi
technology (on the system language), with extra resource requirements
as the consequences. :p
Frankly, all that stuff is still early 80s technology at best. Back
then
they just hadn't the computing power to actually do it.
Information technology hasn't changed too much since then. They just
invented a lot of new TLAs[0]. The only question is who has the better
sales people hired.

In a classic example of "Do as I say, not as I do", Richard Grimes
analyses the ratio of native to managed code in Microsoft's upcoming
Vista Operating System. According to the analysis at Microsoft Vista
and .NET, "Microsoft appears to have concentrated their development
effort in Vista on native code development. Vista has no services
implemented in .NET and Windows Explorer does not host the runtime,
which means that the Vista desktop shell is not based on the .NET
runtime. The only conclusion that can be made from these results is
that between PDC 2003 and the release of Vista Beta 1 Microsoft has
decided that it is better to use native code for the operating system,
than to use the .NET framework."
