In another attempt to kill java (which is okay in my book), they are offering java that only works with .NET (which is not good).
In March, Sun raised concerns about Visual J#.Net in its private antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft. Sun charged that Microsoft had corrupted Java, undermining its promise of allowing developers to create software that can run on different types of computers or operating systems without having to be rewritten. Microsoft executives, however, assert that Visual J#.Net's limited capability allows Microsoft to sidestep licensing issues with Java creator Sun. Microsoft sidestepping licensing issues? HA! :\
