No I don't, and know why? Here is a quote from a typical job offer which
comes out at monster (this one was from uk) 
when you search for .NET:

As a VB Developer, this is an opportunity for you to team up and work
alongside some of the top developers around and therefore to be considered
for this role, you will need to have at least 2 years solid Visual Basic
experience and a good understanding of the development of ActiveX
components, COM and .Net. Those who have and experience of the financial
market or have Real time software development then that will be beneficial
with your application. 

Salary 45K pounds in london... That's like 20K euro in germany or 30K USD in
US. Sorry, this is not my kind of job :-)

I think the larger problem for a java developer in a small business sector
is PHP or even Perl. .NET is mostly irrelevant, at least in germany. 

But know what, it was dumb from me, to get on this discussion. I admit my
defeat, you won, all praise .NET.
