.NET *IS* native code.  It's one of the biggest differences between
it and Java; .NET eventually compiles down to all-native code.
Java compiles only those bits that get executed more than a few times.

Of course Vista shouldn't host .NET services.  It's not a server.
It's a desktop.  To get a server, one will have to get Windows
2007 or 2008 Server Edition, at extra cost.

Or one can get Linux, which will do both. :-)

Windows Vista.  Because everyone wants a really slick-looking 8-sided wheel.
