More tools. In addition to the Stream-based I/O that Java provides, you have SOAP support, partial WCF support, and REST support (via WCF and some add-on assemblies).

(Granted, even Java will have add-on libraries to simplify networking, but in this case there's at least some potential here to reuse existing code...)

It'll certainly be harder to exploit JavaScript evaluation and information leaks...
