The Machine Language > Java Bytecode (Cross-Platform : MSIL (Cross-Your_Fingers). The Enterprise Framework > J2EE, JXTA, JSDT : Whistler I think is the more precise counterpart, .Net is too general. Privacy Abuse Tool > Microsoft Passport : Sun Liberty Alliance (has a different and narrower service that does not make it analogous to Passport). _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
