Im probably wrong as i dont touch any windows crap except for a Workstation but that but then could you explain why i can use my Hotmail .NET account to log into about 1000+ other websites which claim to support the .NET framework?

.NET is basically the .NET Framework.
The .NET Framework is basically made up of 3400+ classes organized in 'Namespaces'.
It allows developers to develop applications in over 25 true OO languages. (Desktop and ASP.NET Web Pages)
I use Visual Basic.NET to write all of my ASP.NET Web Pages and XML Web Services.
What's cool is you can take that same exact method you wrote for a Web Page, and drop it in a desktop application.
Also, since all languages access the CLR (Common Language Runtime) no language is any better than the other.
It's just syntax preference.
If you like PHP, you will learn C# very easily. It's a nice bracket language.
You can write a ASP.NET Webpage that resizes jpeg images, and copy that same method into a desktop application that can do the same exact thing.
Also whats neat about ASP.NET is its all pre compiled.
With every Web Application I build, I use a 'code behind' page.
This 'code behind' page contains all of the classes, properties, methods that handle all of the page processing.
This 'code behind' is compiled into a .dll automatically.
Since it's pre compiled, its much faster than asp and in some cases php.
With ASP.NET I never have to worry about hiding my code. It's done for me automatically
I just have to give the client the .dll
