With all due respect, writing it in .NET leaves the non-Windows people out in
the cold. Java (while it does have an occasional drawback or two) is portable
and will run transparently on Windows, Macs and the various unices. This is not
an anti-MS thing, its a pro-portability thing. If it could be written to the
J2ME standard (Java-2 Micro Edition) its possible that it could even run on a
PDA (Palm, Handspring, etc).
