HI All,

As we all know, Microsoft is the market leader in the IT Industry. If we were to identify the competitiors for .Net, who could be the competitors ?

Well, it's *a* market leader. The IT industry is too big to really
claim to have a single leader - there are too many aspects to it.

the competitors ?


The main competitors for mindshare as far as I can see are:

o Java
o Unmanaged C/C++
o VB prior to VB.NET

Do you mean in progress, than I can share your opinion, however as far as I
know, has IBM still a big share in the total marketplace. And there are
places in the IT industry where Microsoft is really nothing. (Processors,
All kind of Chips, Mainframes, a lot of other hardware, DVD, CD, tapes,
paper, ............... ........)

I would add Smalltalk not as a today's competitor but tomorrows. Alan Kay
the inventor of Smalltalk won recently the Turing award and Smalltalk is in
the press again.
In the last days there appeared two new implementations ( in beta ) an
interpreter for .NET and a dialect running with native widgets under Mac OS
X. Smalltalk has advantages for the developer ( see
http://smalltalk-programming.com ) . I wouldn't claim that competitors must
be really as big as MS for tomorrows' competition. Cncom & IBM Smalltalks
are today's mainstream Smalltalk environments.
