I think .net (other than the TLD... you know, the microsoft thing) is the idea that you use microsoft passports (Eg: @hotmail.com, @msn.com...) to use for credentials for an application or website. They never actually say but that's all that i've grasped.
(EDIT)
please forgive me for linking to microsoft, this is micosoft's "What is .NET" page.

it's what Admiral Firmus Piett, the commander of the Super Star Destroyer Executor in Star Wars used to send transmissions back to his family before he and 100,000 crew aboard his ship were slaughtered by the violent rebels.
You know... the Imperial Holo.net?
Or is it a bunch of guys who carry Zip carts and CD-Rs around to share files?
That is... Sneaker.net?
Or is it just the latest thing that Bill found floating in the septic tank?
As in... Microsoft.net?

Microsoft has this new idea that the future of PC use will change dramatically and rather than people having M$ Office and shit on their PCs hard drive, instead they will load it from a network. .net is like a group of M$ programming languages or protocols or somthings like that that are designed more for the implementation of applications in this manner. It has not been widely adopted as of yet.
Note, this is my slightly educated GUESS. Because I don't really know what its all about. I've seen large books written about it, but so far I havn't heard of or seen anything about .net that will actually benefit anyone (other than M$ of course).
