The two are kind of related, a bit like how auto boxing was introduced to assist working w/ Igenerics. Im pretty sure its safe to assume without generics, autoboxing would not have come about. Maybe it took them ten years but im sure if one goes thru the entire list of features in the c# even more can be reasoned to have been introduced because of com direclty or as a side effect accompanying some other feature that was introduced because of COM. After this exercise it could be reasoned that one almost has a c# that looks a lot like Java.
