Edit: I am primarily thinking about desktop apps, not web apps.
It includes three main application models – WPF, Windows Forms, ASP.NET Forms – and Base Class Library. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a UI framework used for creating graphical interfaces primarily for desktop client applications on Windows OS.
NET Framework is a software development framework for building and running applications on Windows. . NET Framework is part of the . NET platform, a collection of technologies for building apps for Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and more.
The . NET framework provides increased application security as internet software is developed by ASP. NET which has Windows confirmation and configuration. Two advanced features Managed code and CLR provide safety options like code access security and role-based security.
I think you'll hardly find mainstream apps from Microsoft written in .NET, since most of their popular applications were built before .NET was released, re-writing them for .NET provides no benefit for them.
But if you look at recent applications you might find .NET based ones:
I know that some are not consumer based, but it shows that recent investments were made on .NET
All of Microsoft's websites run ASP.Net.
Expression Studio, parts of which target end-users, is built in .Net and has a WPF-based UI.
