It is difficult for people who want to shoot themselves in the foot to do so...
Seriously, about the only "real" issue is that you are definately tied to a Microsoft Platform. On the other hand, you can get the best of functionallity, easily for that platform.
That is a vague question. Why are you looking for drawbacks?Quote:

Except for that, and that it is mainly a tool for constructing windows apps, it's a pretty decent development environment and programming language. That Anders is one smart dude.
yep. and that oath you have to swear in blood before the the dark lord and his angles before they allow you to download the framework redistributable off msdn is a bit excessive IMO :p ;)Quote:

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. If you have a perception that MS is evil, even when they don't do anything bad, you will still see them as Evil.
I believe pete was using humor there :D
That may be, but who is to make a value judgement. ;)Quote:

Seriously, It is generally recognized that without the "Triad" of the late 1970's early 1980's [IBM, Intel, Microsoft], the explosion of computers into daily life for a vast majority of the population would not have occured at nearly the rate it did (if it occured at all).
I didn't know that. You see English is not my first language. :)
You could have fooled me. You are very adept at it.Quote:

They have been dinged for this by the EU, and yet this behavior persists.
And this is different than other large companies in so many different fields??? [neglecting those cases where intrusive goverment regulations are imposed]Quote:

You make a good point, and this is certainly not a simple case of black and white, good and evil, but it's also a matter of scale. What MS does has a huge effect on the software industry as a whole, much greater than that of any other software company, bar none. When such dominance and intimidation has occurred in other industries in the past, governments are often forced into regulation (see for instance AT&T, Standard Oil, and the steel industry).Quote:

No wait.. I just realised there is a way bigger problem with C#.net... it doesnt exist?! Every time I try to go there my web browser says "invalid character in URL: #"
Can someone with a good web browser please save http://c#.net onto a floppy disk and post it to me?
Compared to what ? C++ ? Forth ? Lisp ? My washing machine ? :DQuote:
I want to know that What is the major drawback of C# .NET.
Also for what purpose ? Databasing/business applications ? Graphics applications ? Games ? Viruses ? Web sites/applications ? To make me a cup of tea at the end of the day ?
Most languages have their advantages and their disadvantages. To find these out convincingly you have to know which language you're comparing to which and for what purpose you intend to use the language for. It's also advisable to learn something of the languages for yourself.

P.S. The difference between C# and my washing machine is that I understand C#.
