  Not *everything* from Microsoft is that bad. I just detest C# because
of the reason why the developed it.

  However, the little I have heard about .NET, it doesn't sound
all that bad. If I'm not mistaken, it makes it easy to develop
language-independent modules (for example, you could develop a
library module in C++, ASP, C# or probably even Java, and use it
in any of the other languages at will). I might have understood
wrongly what .NET is about, though.

  Perhaps a bit surprisingly, Microsoft even has some open-source
projects, under OSI-compliant licenses. For example:
