Not quite sure what you mean with that -- I think its success will be dependant
upon whether or not companies and developers support it, not really vendors.
It's a platform -- so I don't really get the analogy to Visual Basic aside from
the fact that Visual Basic has a .NET edition.

There's a bit of a learning curve with .NET -- and it's a hill I haven't
finished climbing myself -- so how quickly developers adobt or reject the
technology will either hurt MS and help competing application platforms, or it
will really help MS to hurt technologies like Java/JSP.
