1 - Is Microsoft dotnet a Virtual Machine... like the Java Virtual
Machine... that will run on any operating system?

2 - If so, does Microsoft give away the dotnet development system like Sun
does the Java Developmet system?

I was considering learning Java for my next project and someone suggested
dotnet instead.

3 - Can someone give me the pro's & con's of each?

thanks - tmb
