C# : Java Glossary

The advantages Java has over C# include:

• C# is a proprietary Microsoft-only product. Java is supported by many vendors including powerful ones like HP (Hewlett Packard) and IBM (International Business Machines). If Microsoft decides to decommit C# and ask everyone to migrate to some new product, you don’t have a choice to stay with C#. If Microsoft decides to start charging excessive licencing fees for C# development or use, you are stuck. If you want to develop for some platform other than Windows, you have to start over.
• Faster execution, but with Hotspot and with static compiliation
• Java works on nearly every platform from cellphone to mainframe. C# is limited to the Microsoft desktop.
• Java comes with a huge set of standard class libraries and thousands of third party libraries, nearly all free.
• Java can operate inside a browser as an Applet.
• Java can operate as self-installing and self-updating applications with Java Web Start.
