oh yeah, depending on m$ technology would be really "smart". The only
multiplatform, free .net implementation that I know is Mono and I
haven't heard too many positive things about it. Even Mono would
probably require some work to be ported on Android, so why would they
do that when they have Dalvik a very nice and light VM optimized for
low memory.

then millions of Java developers would have to learn a "new
programming language", and most of the mobile developers know Java ME
not .NET. Besides the Java syntax is very similar to C#, it wouldn't
take more than 1-2 weeks for a good .NET developer to get to know the
basics classes and packages from Java. All developers who start
