I think the cross-language features of the CLR are very innovative.
I think a really interesting aspect of the CLR is whether Java (the language) will ever be supported on it. I'm sure Microsoft would love to support it, think of all the developers cut out of using the CLR otherwise!
It would be quite a shame if the still pending Microsoft vs. Sun suit over Microsoft's Java implementation were preventing this from happening.
