For me the highlights of C# 1.0 vs Java at that time was multiple classes per file or partial classes in C# vs Java's one file=one class Easy default way to build, debug and run apps Familiar way to create GUIs ASP.net (it wasn't perfect but hey) compared to JSP No properties boilerplate Enums Visual Studio 2003 vs Eclipse or Netbeans at that time on the hardware at that time was no competition
