Unfortunately, most of the dialogue on Java vs. .Net has not been on the intellectual level. While I personally agree with a previous comment (ie. it doesn't matter to me because .Net comes from Microsoft), I think it is essential to recognize the overall genealogy. .Net owes an *enormous* amount to Java, just as we'll all now be indebted to .Net for advancing the art and getting the Java community off its complacent ass. Perhaps soon they'll both be taken to school by Python.
Competition seems to be the only paradigm for the today, but in retrospect everybody will forget the players and see the whole story as evolution.
