Doesn't matter what the development platform is; it matters whether  
the VM is installed on the desktop according to your original request.  
Even if every new piece of software is written in .NET it will still  
take time for the VM to surpass Java in terms of penetration. Apple  
doesn't support .NET, which is the elephant in the room you can't avoid.

C++ is the only option there. Everything else is going to require a  
runtime.
