Richard has a point, C# and .NET are inseparable. The reason why C#
exists is to push Microsoft corporate interests by locking vendors'
code in the .NET prison.

This also answers Richard's disagreement. That you can trace .NET
functionality back to COM is not an important differentiation. C# and
Java are not programming languages, they are proprietary platforms. Of
the two, I think, C# is the better one, that's what I meant.

This FAQ also applies, just read "C#" instead of "Java" :)
