I'ts life, but not as we know it... : There’s More to Java vs. .NET Than Technology: "There’s More to Java vs. .NET Than Technology

A new colleague of mine, Raynni Jourdain (LogicaCMG, Arnhem), pointed me towards this article about Java vs. .NET.

In short, it says .NET for projects that have ease-of-use, need quick time to market and a lifespan of 2-5 years and Java for more complex projects, scalability and a lifespan of 5-10 years.
I'm not a Java expert, but I think I disagree...

Why couldn't you build complex projects with .NET? I think you can...!

When it comes to .NET vs Java, the words of an classic Irving Berlin song come to mind:
“Anything you can do, I can do better
I can do any thing better than you...“"
