.NET Framework defined

The framework is an attempt to build on the favorable-to-MS antitrust Trial outcome and lock out anything in the future that threatens the applications barrier to entry.

Heading Son(s) of Java off at the pass is the name of the .NET game. The goal is not to do something new and useful but to slide Windows' core functionality into this market space, much as core Windows code was slipped into Internet Explorer quite artificially, forcing use of IE and rendering the need or desire for Netscape moot.

By creating a framework that requires everything to play in the framewor's sandbox, said framework indeed being not like Java but occupying the space Java would otherwise sit within, the economics of doing up an application like Netscaape that might become a host for apps by itself--and thereby commoditizing the OS--are nulled out.

It is like putting someone on a toilet day and night so no one else may use it.
