Yeah, from my perspective that was done with unfair (monopolistic)

Why?

Doesn't .NET rely on C# and "compiled-to-machine-language" code rather  
than "compiled-to-byte-code" with Java -- a potential performance  
advantage?

I have heard stories that where MS really gets you on servers (web,  
database, etc) is there are additional charges for each user or CPU.

Is .NET priced this way?

I assume that IBM remarkets CFMX because it offers RADD advantages over  
pure Java, while being interoperable (if not compatible) with Java.--  
what does .NET have to compete?

I don't know if the Justice Department would permit that, but it  
certainly would shuffle the deck!
