4.8 .NET
The Microsoft .NET framework is the new runtime framework on Windows. The 
framework is included in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, while it is an 
installable component for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
The framework consist of two parts:
An extensive library:
The library consists of pre-coded solutions to address common programming 
problems and manages the execution of programs written specifically for the 
framework.
Common Language Runtime:
Applications written to the .NET framework are compiled into intermediate 
code, called 
managed
code. The Common Language Runtime provides the
appearance of a virtual machine and executes the managed code.
The .NET platform supports a wide range of languages such as J# and C#. The 
.NET framework is not supported on any other platforms than Windows.
