* Edward Ray:
.NET Security is an oxymoron, IMHO. If anyone has a different take on this topic that is has not partaken of the Microsoft Kool-Aid on this subject, I would appreciate enlightenment.
There are rumors that Internet Explorer on .NET-enabled systems can download and execute untrusted CLI bytecode, without user confirmation. (By design, not as a bug, just like Java applets.) This means that some bytecode verifier and security manager is still needed. I couldn't find definite documentation on the subject, though. However, it seems that .NET does not put as much emphasis on mobile code as Java, so these components are perhaps not *that* important.
