Is Eiffel# Better than Eiffel?

hardcorebit asks: "Interactive Software Engineering has announced that a version of the Eiffel programming language, called Eiffel# is available for Microsoft's .NET initiative. The .NET framework provides a common type system and inheritance mechanism for different languages. The claim is that Eiffel# programmers can use this to seamlessly integrate code from other programming languages, across networks, and so on. The only thing is that .NET doesn't support multiple implementation inheritance, so Eiffel# currently lacks this feature. There are one or two other differences as well. I'm not an Eiffel expert, so I'd like to know whether the missing features matter and if so, how much." First C# and now Eiffel#...is Microsoft trying to wrap some of the more popular languages in it's .NET initiative? If so, how effective can it be if Microsoft is leaving out features like multiple inheritance and the ability to redefine features in descendant classes?
