"Well, there's really no difference between Windows and .Net. We picked the .Net name to explain the bet that we were making around XML and Web services and around some user features where applications would work across many different devices instead of just on a single device. And so putting those new capabilities into all the Microsoft products was something we bet our company on."
-- Bill Gates
