That's a good question. Lots of corporate intranet apps are written in C#, but it's hard to tell what consumer apps are, since it's not something that companies advertise.
For what it's worth, we do know, however, that .NET technology is an important component of all games made with Unity.
- jcromartie 16y agoUnity is cross-platform (Mac, Windows, Wii, iOS) though, and is really built on Mono and not Microsoft's implementation. So I don't think that counts, since Ars is arguing that .NET is competing with Obj-C and Cocoa as the native language/API of choice for desktop apps.
- jcl 16y agoI'm pretty sure it counts... Ars is arguing that Objective-C will be left behind by a higher-level, managed language, which is precisely what is happening with Unity, regardless of whether Microsoft implemented it or what platform it runs on.
- jcromartie 16y agoThey are arguing that .NET is already that language for Windows, which I don't think is true.
