What MS really wants is that you write code in
whatever-language-you-please as long as you run it at THEIR operating
system. Forget Mono and other silly attempts to clone .NET Framework
-- they are doomed to always lag behind MS implementation. That's the
opposite of interpreted Java or compiled Free Pascal, where the goal
is to "write once, run anywhere".
We all know MS's intentions --and they made it obvious by the way went
about licensing that stuff.
Apart from that, it --IMO-- wasn't a bad idea at all. Shame it was
doomed to failure due to licensing.

I am not sure about the 'slightest advantage' aspect: I thought MS
sold the .Net thing mostly on the premise of 'write in the language
you're most comfortable yet share with others you/they find useful';
and it seems --if it was properly licensed-- it could catch on on
other platforms too.
