As far as I've learned so far, .net is good for client server but not 
that great for standalone because of the need for the .net runtime to 
run things, which creates a large overhead. Performance is an issue too, 
as everything compiles JIT. I think that's why although .net is a great 
idea, a lot of languages will remain language of choice for 
standalone/no runtimes/speed critical/cross platform aplications. I 
could be wrong, but I don't think I'm far from the truth.
