.NET is Microsoft's answer to Java. The problem for MS is how to get it
accepted by the Linux/Open Source community. Microsoft can't beat Java
unless .NET is accepted by this community. So MS is using Corel as a back
door to slide it in.
So the question is would you rather use C# and .NET to do basically the
same things that you can do with the Java stuff. Of course this has the
added benefit (?) of having Bill's stamp of approval...
