C# is an ECMA standard. It is not owned by MS, and other companies (like Borland) have their own C# tools. C# is also implemented on other platforms (although if you want to use the .NET framework...)

Java has been removed from standardization, and is a Sun-owned property.

I agree with your arguments above, but I think you should arrive a C# as the right answer to your concerns... ;-)
