If you use Flash, you are not using .NET. It is an old ActiveX control. If
you use .NET, you have access to the entire .NET Framework, as well as
thousands of libraries and components written for the CLR, and sophisticated
development tools such as Visual Studio .NET. However, you will be
restricted to the Windows platform.

A .NET "applet" is much closer to a java applet than to flash. The power is
much greater than flash.
