Java was the coolest / most hyped up language back in 2000. Was .NET even around then?

No, it originated in 2002, but the equivalent was VB, COM, and ASP. That said, I was speaking in the present tense.

In 2000 proper, the crazy hip thing in the Java world was J2EE. Seriously ... being proficient in Enterprise and Session beans got one a 100K+ job back when that was a big thing.
