What is .Net?

I have read threads here and there and I have looked at MS but I can not get
a clear understanding of what .Net acutally is. I understand that C++ and Vb
and other languages are being out a .Net. I get some idea that it still is
OOP. I think it has different ways of managing the code. But what is it?

Thanks
