most of the good companies prefer java as programming language for s/w development than .net. why?

---

Cause it's easily deployed in heterogeneous environment ranging from Linux to Windows to many different electronic devices.

It has many many frameworks that ease the development and they are reliable cause they are mature enough.

There are a good community carrying a huge knowledge about software development in small and especially in large.

No Manual memory management, Clear object oriented policies applied in language, Pointers couldn't mess your code, and it's a live language that promote every now and then

java is stable and not restrict in windows, also there many opensource firworks, but also it diffcult to use. I think for small and middle project, .net is the better one. of course how identify the project is the key issue. the answer why, I think the ture is that they are also many good companies prefer .net, all it depend on the CIO's choose. there even some good companies choose PHP, any language is no problem if it can solve the problem.

There are a couple of reasons why you would choose Java over .net

Java is multi-platform (Mono is not fully there) Java is an older language, so people assets in the company might only know that, so the best language is always the language you know.

Really other then that, there is no reason to choose one over the other.
