And i think we never seen support of other platforms in the future because of Microsoft politic.<br />Therefor for what we can use .net? For a native code we may use the Delphi/C++.

When .net was born, it was to take on J2EE in a world with plenty of money to spend on expensive servers to run massive integration projects built on highly abstracted frameworks and platforms. At the end of the decade, the smart money is on simple loosely integrated solutions using a mix of frameworks rather than a one-size fits all approach.
