Common language infrastructure (CLI)is a term which gives no results when run on the Microsoft web site]. But Common language runtime is not much better (4 hits). And Common language runtime gives a lot of hits, but they seem to be Java related.
A general google search on Common Language Infrastructure and Common Language Runtime gives a considerable amount of results. But sorting out needs its time.
I would like to see an article which translates the Microsoft speak into commonly known computing terms. The stub above is a first attempt at this. Perhaps it should be moved to another heading. -- Kwaku
CLI as seen with the eyes of a Java proponent: http://www.javalobby.org/clr.html

I removed some stuff because it was copied without even some decent formatting from http://hosting.msugs.ch/dotnetrox/vb/Ch01.html -- Jan Hidders 20:47 Sep 7, 2002 (UTC)

I noticed that the article has no category. Maybe separate Category:Microsoft .NET should be created? --Derbeth 19:42, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I've put it in the already-existing Category:.NET programming languages. ··gracefool |☺ 05:13, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
My understanding is that the CLR (Common Language Runtime) is not technically a virtual machine. It does not run IL code, it loads and compiles it. The architecture is designed to provide a platform-neutral layer similar to that provided by Java's Virtual Machine, but the mechanism is different.
