In what context? Probably VB.NET

Windows .Net is XP Server.

IT is an intertwining of all the major programming languages under one roof to provide variable web-content that can all be presented in one front...

Visual Baisc.NET is part of the mesh...


It all inclides C++, c#(I think), J++(MS java), and a few other things...


basically you can make webpages with alll of these and the .NET Framework patch allows you to see it all as one on the user end...


Works just as a VM for JAVA but it does everthing...


It is definitely interesting...I get Visual Studio .NET for free from school so that is why I'm learning

It's also an 'upgrade' to visual basic 6. Although really it's an entire redesign of all the programming languages. Everything is object oriented and all the languages use the same framework so they can all do the same things. No longer is visual basic a 'weaker' language than c++ or c#.

Designing web apps is only one of many things that you can do with it, and ASP.net is there for that purpose. I use it for just writing standard windows apps. Actually the rich client model is being pushed because with self-registration there are no longer the same deployment issues as there were in previous versions.

Also what would be seen as Windows XP Server is being named .Net Server.

Thanks Bill Gates. Now it's crystal clear. .Net is a portal.

Uhh, no.

Rather than point out all the incorrect statements in this thread, I suggest Xenon reads this then follow-up with all the material in Joohang's link.

What does .NET mean from a user perspective? When Windows XP asks me to register a .NET account, what will I get out of it?

 

[tkdkid]

You mean like a passport account? It's just an account that lets you log into some areas of microsoft's site.

From the .NET Passport perspective, it is trying to create a single "internet signon" for you so that you can store all of your information in one place and use it to access all kinds of sites (at least that was their vision).

From the .NET Framework perspective, it is an initiative for creating a clean, managed runtime envrionment to which a compiler can be made to compile any language to. That is not all there is too it, but it is a big part. They have incorporated a lot of the great ideas behind the Java Runtime Environment and improved on others. Writing programs in C# is a fun experience, especially if you have ever attempted to write a similar program using C++ and MFC or C and the original Windows API.
