.NET or .NOT?

Links for the Day Yahoo Daily News: Eat Curry and Be Happy Motley Fool: Applying Football Rules to Investing CNN: Senator Blue Dot Net? or Dot Not? I am meeting a Microsoft.NET Evangelist tomorrow. In preparation for the meeting, I have read up quite a bit on Dot Net stuff. I am looking for some specific answers, most importantly why I shouldn't abandon Microsoft completely and build Java apps instead. If Dot-Net were to fly, much of my software will become obsolete. This is an issue that has occupied my mind for the last two years a lot, and I am eager to decide one way or the other... My Requirements (really, our customers' requirements) Support for client heavy computing -- support for pictures, documents (rich-text), and printing Easy deployment -- I do not want to ship binary runtime with my app. This is my biggest problem with Java. Much of our software is rule-based. This means I want robust scripting. Compilation, Just-in-time compilation is all meaningless in my domain. I want to be able to specify code on the fly and execute it. My other requirements are same as that for other people - performance, cost, rapid development, durability of the platform, and reliability (Comments Disabled for Now. Sorry!)
