Pay for Java ?

Microsoft liked Java so they created J++ that runs on JVM. Sun sued and won. Microsoft then created the .NET framework (mimicking JVM), ported Visual Basic to it, and created J# (Java on .NET) and C# (C++ on .NET). J# was axed a few years later because no one used it (because Java sucks). C# catapulted past Visual Basic in popularity, remains in the top 5 today.

Singularity is a .NET-based operating system experiment that Microsoft discontinued years ago. It semi lives on as the Universal Windows Platform.
