One answer is speed, speed, speed!!! The famous German computermagazin ct has recently compared C# with C++ and Java. Since Microsoft does not allow to publish benchmarks (so much to the openness of Microsoft) they have put the sourcecode of their benchmark on their web-site: http://www.heise.de/ct/02/04/links/098.shtml For your convenience I add this sourcecode as attachment. If you need no pointer shit, no memory leaks, a great GUI etc, use Objective-C with NeXT, now MacOS X Cacao development environment. Ooops, I forgot, this is not Windows!
