The sooner the better, because .Net along with most Microsoft technologies are a dead-end.

As opposed to Java, which has a bright future with Oracle?

I'm no fan of Oracle and Java either, my bet is on mobile-web (JS/HTML5). Microsoft technologies are a dead-end in the context of mobile/cloud technologies. It would be impossible to argue that Microsoft is going to win iOS and Amazon AWS converts to the Windows phone and Azure platforms. Perhaps it's wishful thinking, but there are no situations where I can envision any of Microsoft's mobile/cloud technologies are going to succeed in the future.
