I have not really heard a clear explanation as of yet.

.NET is the next generation (NOT version) of programming tools...

Which include:
VB.NET
VC++.NET
C#.NET
J#.NET
ASP.NET
DELPHI.NET (Borland's answer to VB, based on Pascal)

They include a common interface (.NET Framework), which the generated binary code uses to execute, similar to the way Java works, and the binary code (or Intermediate Language aka IL Code) is prepared for execution by a Just In Time (JIT) Compiler. which makes .NET platform/processor independent, as opposed to VB, C++, ect... which are compiled for execution on a specific platform (operating system/processor)

Tell me if you would like any specific part of my expanation clairified further... ;-)
