title: Is .NET platform independent?
body: <p>.NET is a language independent platform.</p>
  
  <p>But is it platform independent as well ? How ?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT : 
  I have heard, .NET 4.0 is developed considering plateform independency ! Well, hope it may take over Java, if so !</p>
  
  <p>EDIT : 
  The answer depends upon the way how we define 'platform', like .NET for windows platform and Mono for Java.</p>
  
  <p>But, the question is, don't do we have general development platform which is OS independent !</p>
  
  <p>Does OS independency related to platform independency ?</p>
