They probably wouldn't have won the lawsuits with Oracle, but maybe they could have used .NET and not have to rip off Java.

  "rip off Java" - you do know where C# came from, right? Microsoft mated Java with something during the dark of the moon, and C# was the unholy offspring. Seriously, C# was a near close of Java, because Sun sued Microsoft over compatibility: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis... . - See the Examples section.
