.Net

Microsoft's take on the intelligent, service-oriented network, .Net builds on the idea of a platform-independent language and puts it at the heart of the system along with remote third-party services. The platform-independent language, MSIL, would provide an alternative development environment to the Java chosen by the initial Jtrix implementation but is not mature enough at the time of writing. Java and MSIL netlets could interoperate via proxy services supplied as netlets in either language. As .Net services are made available by the SOAP protocol, a Jtrix SOAP service would be able to access .Net services directly.
