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?

IMHO, Apple should go with Mono. Mono is going to play main role into GTK# and Gnome desktop into at least the Linux world, and a Darwin port will be planned as for current PDA ports.
Rotor is good but it's unsupported and can't be easilu changed because of his kinda stupid license (thanks Microsoft), and simply implements the strict Ecma standard CLI and C# specifications. No *.Windows.* or *.Microsoft.* stuff there.
Just my 2 cents,
