According to statistics, Java continues to have the crown of the most used VM-based platform in the industry. However, Microsoft's C# and .NET gain ground every day. While C# might or might not overcome Java in the following years, the fact remains that more and more programmers want the choice of C# among their developer tools. So, where does this situation leave Apple?

I do not get *your* logic.
1. .NET is not hype, it is quite real and has a lot of support already.
2. MFCs and VB are not the same as the .NET VM. Doing a port of the MFCs it would be crazy. But doing a port of Mono and some bindings for Cocoa# is cheaper and doable.
3. It is not just about applications. It is also about ASP.NET. When I used to work as a web developer, I had a helluva time working with Mac web developers from another company because their machines couldn't run ASP and so we couldn't work together (that was back in 1999). Porting Mono, clears up this problem (for the most part).
