I would say that not having J2EE and JBoss is a plus for .NET or any other platform :-) There is a whole new set of framrworks for building web applications.

I would say that not having J2EE and JBoss is a plus for .NET or any other platform :-) There is a whole new set of framrworks for building web applications. My favorite frameworks include: * ServiceStack: everything you need to build sophisticated web apps with a clean, beautiful API. * WebAPI: if you want to get a more "Enterprisey" set of APIs * ASP.NET MVC: .NET's approach to Ruby-on-Rails-esque development. * SignalR: real-time web applications.
