Two of my colleagues (and very good friends) have worked for years in Java, PHP, MYSQL, Tomcat, Struts, and the list go really on and on. I'm (the only one who chose the .NET framework). Now, our manager has convinced our boss to invest on us and some other who are willing to go through the process. So far, battles (them vs me) to convince other which framework (.Net - other free framework) has been pointless. Now, my friends have a new argument: .NET is not free.
I'd like to know how much it cost to choose .NET over the other (for instance, Java, Struts, TomCat, etc...). I'm not talking about which technology is better, but how much .NET would cost. So far, all the cost of learning was related to the purchase of my books (Visual studio Express is free).
By the way: If .NET is not free why people are still using it. Or, only big companies can use .NET???
Thanks for helping.

NET Framework is free of charge, without licensing cost. The only cost is purchasing the hardware that it runs on. One advantage to Microsoft . NET Framework is that it is a free product and everyone can use it.
NET is Free. . NET is an open-source developer platform with no licensing costs and free development tools for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
A simple . net application with essential functions may cost you between $2000-$5000, while a complex . net application like an e-commerce may cost you somewhere around $10000-$25000.
Developers often lean toward Java for large projects and . Net when rapid application development is required. You cannot go wrong choosing either . NET and Java, as they both are high-performing platforms.
.NET is free - for download, use and anything.
What will cost you is the licenses for
You can absolutely develop 100% with free software for .NET, and using .NET doesn't cost you a thing (except the Windows OS license, maybe)
