Actually it does mean that C# is a better language now. If you are developing new applications then all the compromises that were made to shoe horn in new features don't matter to you. You just want something that works well and is simple. I think that C# has that on Java in a lot of respects.

No arguments there. But the rate at which C# is changing, what is stopping Microsoft from adding yet new features and breaking compatibility with previous language/VMs?

That's why there are generally several different versions of .Net installed side-by side.

That's why they have different releases of the .Net run-time.
