Java is cross platform but sluggish so you'll be able to make applications for Linux/Unix, Mac and Windows servers. This will be with a performance hit. .NET only runs "well" on Windows and Mobile devices running Windows of some form (Windows CE, WinMo, etc). You'll be able to make applications but they will only work on Windows and you will limit your audience.

The question is, which do you like to develop with?

I would Like Cellphones, Server based software development ,As I know Windows is not yet heavily used in Cellphones dont know About Server side, And Is .net Programming more fun and and will it help in solving Programming aspects like Garbage collection, efficient code .
And by the way I heard about F# language do you have seen it yet, I saw it in Apress .com books and they say it will change the Programming world by storm ,what do you think.

C++ and Java are actually the two most common languages for application development, from what I've seen. .NET has a lot of buzz, but I have seen relatively few programs actually written in it. The .NET library is a huge overhead.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.
