..net's main problem is it single source. You are trusting a company
with a bad record of betraying trust.

..net's big advantage is you can also do low level unsafe code in it.
With the JVM you must revert to C++ and native code.

..net is designed for compilation.  Java is designed for interpreting
and hotspotting. Java allows elaborate dynamic run time tricks.

Both are in theory multiplatform, but JVMs have been much more widely
implemented.

..net was designed to sup****t a wide variety of languages.  Java was
designed specifically for Java, though it sup****ts many others too.
