Thats not really how C# happened. edit: also I think embrance,extend,extinguish wont work anymore in the dev space because Microsoft no longer have the monopoly on dev desktops and probably never will again - far from it infact. Its more like they're trying to re-capture dev interest because very few decent websites are built/run on windows (other than StackExchange) and not much app development is happening on windows, etc etc.
