Took some time to settle , and losing which , M$ decided to "stop actively supporting" java - you wont see any active development on visual java , etc from m$ after that ! Also , compare C# and .net to java. The similarities are so much that - if I had tried something similar in college , I would have got a zero for plagarism ! Best Regards, Mridul
