> From the Java world, you are used to "the whole platform" being one of
3 silos, namely JME, JSE or JEE, with the two former containing UI
library. Microsoft cut the cake differently, and while they did not
standardize nor mandate any UI library (i.e. WinForms). However, it's
not just the language that's ISO/ECMA standardized, the whole platform
actually is (CLR, core libraries as well as language). How well do you
think a mandated cross-platform UI library worked out for JSE?

Microsoft can cut the cake as they want, but what I need to develop an application is a whole set of stuff. I'm refining my question: is something like EJB, Servlets/JSP and JPA part of the things that are standardized? I've understood that something like AWT/Swing isn't.

Second question: what's the equivalent of the JCP? In the .Net world, who decides the evolution strategies?
