That was the second attempt.

I think I still have the DVD around someplace. It showed promise compared 
to Visual C++ and, on the Windows platform, to Sun Java. I had hopes for 
Java but when it switched from AWT to Swing it became bloated. 'Java app 
running too slow? Buy a faster machine with more memory and quit your 
bitching.' 

C# learned from both Java and C++/MFC and is an improvement on both. 
Microsoft also learned that hating on Linux isn't productive.
