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.

>ASP.NET? you can do all these with Java.
What if I want to run a web application I wrote on ASP.NET on these nicely looking XServes? The point of the matter is, Apple is now into workstation/server market with the Unix-based Mac OS X, so it makes sense to support as many such technologies as possible.
And why are you speaking of Java in particular? You can do whatever you want with Cocoa too, still though, Apple created Carbon for compatibility sake. Same would be for .NET apps because the whole point of VMs is to be able to port/run-directly applications easily.
