    The new .NET framework is cool. Java its okay and needed. Gtk++ we need that. AIR, we need that also. All platform are good if we don't feel the burden.

    .NET is the future for the Windows platform. The reign of native apps is coming to an end, but it's not going to happen over night. There are talks of a future version of Windows being 100% managed (purely .NET based), but again that's not going to happen soon if it does at all.

    The framework unfortunately isn't as ubiquitous as I'd like to see it (i.e. imo it should be part of the OS and installed/updated along with the rest of it), but it's not a small download. MS needs to shrink it and the updates for it and then it might happen.

    If you want to use modern apps, .NET is a must.

    Awesome framework. Where else could you program in on language and turn it around and have it executable in a totally different language. This framework gives tons of options to allow a developer to do almost anything they think of.
