I imagine, since you say you love C# are you a .Net programmer? Others have pointed out that .Net programmers are Microsoft's biggest cheerleaders these days and have a conflict of interest in speaking about Microsoft's future since maybe they have staked their career on .NET.

Personally, if I wanted an interpreted language with bytecode, I much prefer C#. Much nicer language than Java. But the windows tools suck in my book (VS is slow as hell, their compilers are arcane, etc) and I much prefer Mono. The nice thing about Mono is that you can target every platform ever with it, including mobile.
So if I were contracted to write something business class in something interpreted, I'd definitely put C# with Mono at the top of the list. It is much nicer than Java to develop in, and has platform parity.
