C#?

m$ is making the .net lang C#, now can someone help me get a better understanding of what C# really does? is it plateform indy like Java? and if so what about the web side of C# or .net? I'm not 100% sure but I think that M$ is using COM+ for all it's net stuff (ie webclasses, ocx.. ect..) if .net/ C# is using COM+ how can it be a plateform indy? cause COM don't run on a MAC not even in M$ version of IE 5.x for MAC.. can someone please put some light on this subject for me?
