Response to: i care, i want .NET to fail and fail badly

I would point out that the compilers for .NET are free, completely free, just as the basic Java Development Kit is.


What isn't free is Visual Studio.NET, a massive, industrial strength IDE. I seem to recall that many other companies are selling such IDEs for Java as well.


Microsoft is even giving away a lower level IDE for the ASP.NET environment in the form of the Web Matrix Project.


As for your complaints about Microsoft, they are no worse than Sun, IBM, Netscape, AOL, or any of the other companies that use their hold over people to promote their own agenda, your mania for Java being a perfect example of one.
