I'm using .NET to build some web apps.  What I'm doing isn't nebulous, but not
much different than J2EE was 2 years ago.  I don't think the windows apps
piece is nebulous either, but the mobile device stuff certainly is (but the
devices are just as nebulous as the apps, so what do you expect?)

I really dislike .NET though, and I hope it fails too.  MS could have
contributed something useful to the Java platform, instead they spent a lot of
time duplicating it.  And I hate the way their tools try to do everything for
you rather than being easily extended.  But maybe I just haven't been to
enough classes to know how to use them.
