Good question.
With Microsoft, your locked into Microsoft technologies. With Java, you can
select any platform you want. Also, if you move your platform, there is
little to no rewriting of code (I'm talking J2EE platform). You can go to
any server that is J2EE certified and just move your platform over.
Another advantage is that it's evolving and merging with all the new
technologies out there. This may be more of a long-term benefit.
As far as running as a platform/server language, it has a head-start over
Microsoft. Microsoft has not released it's .Net yet, has it? But J2EE has
been out since December, 1999.
There are disadvantages with Java. It basically uses only the java
language. It works with other languages, but it is language-neutral.
As a Java developer, your skills are more transferable. If your a Microsoft
developer, your locked into their skills.
