Microsoft's leader of C# development, writer of the Turbo Pascal system, and lead architect on the Delphi language, Anders Hejlsberg, reveals all there is to know on the history, inspiration, uses and future direction of one of computer programming's most widely used languages - C#. Hejlsberg also offers some insight into the upcoming version of C# (C#4) and the new language F#, as well as what lies ahead in the world of functional programming.

Its been almost a DECADE SINCE Microsoft announced they were going to stop trying to pretend like they were going to use any standard version of Java, and moved to their own proprietary copy of the java concepts.
And yet..in all that time very little is actually using it in the Windows OS.
Makes you go hmmmm.

Almost every business product MS has uses .net in some way, and almost every new product they make is done in .net. There is no real business case in re-writing most of their software from the ground up in .net for no other reason then maintainability and futureproofing, for them or for anyone else.

Amusing that he calls C++ and Java programmers the "curly braces crowd."
From what he mentioned about the use of various programming languages in low-level Windows development, I have to wonder how much C# has been used in modern Windows (Vista onwards).
