    DLL was when one application would install a DLL, then another application would overwrite it with its own version that broke the other application. The .NET Platform has been created with side-by-side execution in mind, so it is possible to have multiple versions of the same library if they are required by different apps. DLL hell was a COM thing. I can't say whether Java was affected or not, but .NET definitely isn't.

    What is MDX? How is it related to DLL Hell? (MDX, AFAIK, is a new drink from Mountain Dew that I've been obsessing over for 3 days now.)

    MDX is used primarily in OLAP.

    Here is a reasonable explaination.

    From Mt Dew? But it is Pepsi who has Mt Dew. Hence MDX must be from Pepsi..

    Yes, but you don't say "I'd like a bag of Pepsi Chips - Spicy." You say, "I want some Lays - Spicy."
