From Java, not as good as Java.
WoW For it ...every Body say Wow! :D
every thing can be control by .net classes!
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.
now you may like it or hate it but really is there a framework with bigger spectrum of platform then this...dont throw java at me im talkin about sql to linq stuff aswelll really saves lives(literally my friend almost had cangren in his hand because of java(.net has a lot of java stuff in it aswell))

.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.
i`m using .net framework 3.0 sp1 it`s great...now have .net framework 3.5 sp1....
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.
i 'can't say' .Net
I love .Net
I hate .NET
