If C# or .Net were an improvement in the same fashion that Java 2 was to Java, with things that could help everyone get the job done, regardless of OS, then it might be different. It's not though. It's a proprietary "use our stuff or else it won't work" line and fortunately, not that many are buying it. Add in the fact that nothing out of MS' gates is Open Source to any level and that's another 'security through obscurity' feed. I, for one, am tired of listening to MS' crap about how secure their stuff is, how any product is the "end all be all", and overall just how shoddy their products are. I'd be ashamed for life if I were a "programmer" for MS with my name on code just because 98% of it is bloatware, bad code, etc etc...geez, I'm gonna stop here.
