The issue has been raised before (by other as well as myself), but shot down by the stereotypical Java response (if it has anything to do with Microsoft, it *must* by definition be bad and we reserve our right to adopt a childish attitude pretending it does not exist).
Ironically, I have never herd neither Carl nor Richard say anything bad about Java - it seems to be very much a one way thing. I've since come to terns with that (pointed out by Bruce Eckel and others) part of the Java community must simply be suffering from some kind of self- righteousness, envy or prejudice. C'est la vie - that too shall pass. Did they touch on the new async/await features of C# 5? Seems like a very small addition with potentially huge impact.
