What?
You can create folders in .NET: System.IO.Direc tory.CreateDire ctory(Directory Name);

The .NET development tools are not independent, however you can run on other OSs with some extra tools.

j2ee: Windows comes with .NET installed nowadays, not sure it comes with the java j2ee runtimes installed. So for joe user: less things to install for a .NET program.

There are a couple open source implementations of the CLR that allow it to run on other platforms. Mono which is sponsored by Novell and runs on Linux is the most popular.
