I was looking at the microsoft website for a trial of Visual Basic 2005, and I found a link for J#. What is it?

Microsoft's version of Java that's capable of using the .NET framework.

Yet another sorry attempt by M$ to take over all the open-source languages and make them their own with that .NET framework hubub.

But yet Java is not an open-source language. There are open-source variations of its runtime and compiler but the original Java is still closed source by Sun. People have been trying to get Sun to open java but they haven't done it as of yet.

But they have tried .NET'ing Python and it is an open-source language. That really what I was refering to, sorry I didn't mention it above.

What's so bad about being able to use Python on the .NET framework?

Seriously- I'm not a Windows devotee, but you can't just assume that everything MS does is bad.
