I thought Amazon had the lead in terms of cloud computing because they were about to offer virtual machine hosting. But with what I saw what AZURE is all about, let me tell you that Microsoft is going to get a huge part of the market just because they are going to grab all the .NET developers out there…

my 2 cents

Consider the following:

- The Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) as well as the C# language are both ECMA standards.

- The Shared-Source CLI (Rotor) project provides the full source code to the ECMA CLI/C# toolchain including the compiler and interpreter, which you are free to use for research or to help you build your own implementation of the CLI.

- Free and Open Source alternatives exist to Microsoft’s .NET Framework, such as the Mono project, and Portable.NET across a multitude of platforms.

- There are over 50 languages that run on the CLI, most of which are represented in one form or another on the chart you presented.

- The site you claim as “research” leans heavily on reporting data from seemingly random sources: open-source repositories, craigslist job postings, amazon book results, search engine results pages. None of these would provide a clear enough picture of .NET adoption in the corporate sector where languages like VB.NET and C# are dominant languages alongside Java.

I would have to say that you make no point as it relates to Microsoft’s vision for .NET or the .NET framework itself. I would specifically refute your claim that .NET hasn’t achieved its position based on technical merit. Microsoft gave developers a choice (actually dozens of them), as well as the tools they need to do their jobs, and that’s what put .NET adoption where it is today.

That said, resume your unhealthy and baseless hatred of Micro$oft.
