That sounds like a horrible statement, but it may depend on proper 
interpretation of what it means "out of the box". What I know:

1. C#/.Net code can run on Windows Phone

I followed some tutorials and I have application with bunch of .xaml and .cs 
files and I can execute it in Windows Phone 8.1 simulator. I have seen similar 
tutorials for VB. Conclusion: .net bytecode can run on Windows Phone.

2. ikvm generates .net bytecode

I've been following GNU ClassPath RSS (where your blog is syndicated) and 
based on reading it + my own bck2brwsr vm experience I am assuming you can 
convert Java bytecode to .net bytecode.

3. ikvm produces DLLs

ikvm can convert a JAR into DLL and I am assuming Visual Studio allows me to 
add DLL into my C#/XAML project. Conclusion: I will be able to run Java code 
on Windows Phone thanks to IKVM.

Are the previous conclusions true? If so and you still say: "not supported out 
of the box" - what do you mean by "the box"? Packaging of the final 
application? Something else?

Thanks in advance for more insight and of course for keeping ikvm alive.
