By Leander Kahney 02:00 AM Sep. 13, 2004 PT A Silicon Valley startup claims to have cracked one of most elusive goals of the software industry: a near-universal emulator that allows software developed for one platform to run on any other, with almost no performance hit. Transitive Corp. of Los Gatos, California, claims its QuickTransit software allows applications to run "transparently" on multiple hardware platforms, including Macs, PCs, and numerous servers and mainframes... http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,64914,00.html?tw=wn_6techhead

If you say so...

I don't even know of what you're talking about... perhaps it would help if you could stick to the topic at hand.

But you forget that .NET is not a language, .NET is a whole platform based on a virtual machine and a set of libraries aimed at easing development. You can program in whatever language you wish and for which there exists a frontend, with .NET, not so with Java. Yes, both use a virtual machine, but the .NET one is

1) standardized
2) much better at supporting a multitude of languages

Even Java runs on .NET, with comparable or better performances than the "official" Java.

Java may be more widely used, but .NET is simply a better technology.
