I'm not sure that's true. The Sun vs. MS litigation ocurred on 2001 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_J%2B%2B#Sun.27s_litigation_against_Microsoft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_J%2B%2B#Sun.27s_litigat...)
On the other hand, C# first appeared in 2000
- ptx 11y agoThe litigation was settled in 2001 (according to that page) but occurred before then. MS shipped their Java implementation since at least 1997, which included P/Invoke and COM interop – things that encouraged integration with native (platform-specific) win32 libraries and look pretty much the same in C#.
