"C# also is slated by Microsoft to become the primary development language for Windows Phone 7. Like Java, C# is big in the enterprise. However there are considerably fewer C# developers than there are Java developers. But the importance of C# as part of the Microsoft .NET strategy and its support through the Visual Studio tools suite make C# a formidable contender in the programming language race."

And then there was one - I already hear the arrogant at M$ saying it makes more sense to concentrate on one language- C#- to defeat Java. Sound familiar??

C# ranked No. 6 on the most-recent TIOBE Index (2/11).
VB.NET ranked No. 22 on the most recent TIOBE Index (2/11)!!
