I've seen things that use Java. I've never seen anything use .NET. Seems 
like plausible evidence to me.

(I've also seen people talk about Java and various other languages, but 
nobody seems to ever talk about .NET. That, however, might just be a 
result of the people I happen to listen to...)

As I understand it, it's sorta-kinda like the Java virtual machine + 
library assemblage, except explicitly designed to support multiple 
source-level languages instead of just one. (It wasn't easy to find this 
information, mind you...)
