ROFL!!!!  It'd be easy if you were Microsoft and had the inards in front of
you.  For everyone else it's completely unprofitable.

I've done Java and tried C# and honestly I can not tell much of a
difference.  One nice thing about C# is that you can interface with all the
Windows API's. I'm sure such a facility could easily be created in Java as
well.  C# does not aim to be portable so I do not understand the need for
byte-code class files.  Compile the source straight to metal and forget
about the other stuff.  The only benefit of the byte-code would be for the
transmission and dealing with objects as data.
