Hi Damien, I read more of Bryan's comments, as you suggested, and I think he's a loon and doesn't know what he's talking about. The original licensing and 2003 re-licensing of Java by Microsoft was done to allow MS to continue to distribute their version of Java (which they're no longer allowed to call "Java") with Windows. Sun actually wanted Microsoft to do this, so that you can continue to run Java applets in IE "out of the box" without downloading and installing a JRE. There is no way MS used any of the Java source code to create .NET, as Bryan states.
