    J++ 1.3? No Way! C# is the Microsoft Java killer. As usual, Microsoft is uniquely adept at surveying software industry trends, and devising effective strategies to thwart competitors. Dot Net and C# will emerge as a true equal to Java, and the VM market will finally begin to diversify.

    C# is certainly something to watch with interest but I doubt it's going to reverse 5 years of industry trend overnight.
    Then there is the Microsoft 'Great in Version 5' phenomenon to consider; which gives us plenty of time to get religious about it later.
