Which is just plain wrong.

Java and C# are both very popular for open source projects.

Sometimes statistics are done for SF projects.

The last I can find for December 2007 has Java as #1 and
C# as #7 and VB.NET as #14.

So Java and .NET are very much used for open source.

Desktop market is still dominated by native apps. It may
change someday if MS starts to rewrite MFC stuff in .NET.
