Microsoft is simply trying to break java's hold over the enterprise software
market. When sun first came out with java, MS supported it ni their browsers
as they knew it was a great idea. Then, they tried to customise it to
windows and sun filed their case. So, they removed applet support in IE for
swing and all, which meant the user had to download a plugin. They thought
that would kill java but it was the exact opposite as java was the perfect
server side language as on the server, all the configuration could be
controlled and speed didn't matter that much.
C# is similar to java just as java is similar to C++ but at the end of the
day, a programmer does not need much much time to develop his skills in any
language. What would be more important would depend on what the project
requires and there, the advantages and disadvantages of java and C# are
known. C# promises a lot but it ties u down to the windows platform and if
that is enough, C# would be good.
In ASP, it is easy to write scrappy code as it is procedural unless u r
using com or dcom, but C# and java would require similar.
Cheers
