Of course, .NET and web wervices are different things. Web services can be implemented nicely in Java if desired, but the .NET framework relies on proprietary technologies as you have described here. What is unfortunate is that technologies such as XML, SOAP and even HTTP tend to be inappropriately linked to .NET. And, of course, there is nothing inherently wrong with .NET: it's just that it is one of of several technologies providing similar high level functionality.
