.NET Features
.NET comes with a variety of features that render it a rather popular framework. These features include:
Interoperability, or the capacity to interact with programs executed outside of the framework by sharing resources and functionality
Common Runtime Engine, or the use of the CLR
Language Independence, or the ability use multiple languages (although not for the same program) as well as the ability of resulting programs to interact with programs written in a different language that is also .NET compliant
A Base Case Library, or a library of common functions, easing some of the tediousness associated with program development
Simplified Deployment, or assisted installation of programs developed through .NET
