Sounds like you missed the fun of it's first release. We (C# developers) all called it Microsoft Java.

Edit: I remember answering the question "What the hell is C#?!” with: "It's Microsoft Java".

It gave folks new to the language all they need to know: It aimed to solve the same problems as Java, and didn't have Sun's commitment to Open Source behind it.
