Comon, everyone knows the old chestnut about Steve selling his future liver to Satan in exchange for getting Apple's venture capital in place back in the day.
A program like "Hello World" with be much, much faster in C than any of the Java derivatives like C#. A language that has a runtime requiring an expensive initial malloc for it's generational GC and a lot of fancy class/assembly loading will be an order of magnitude slower.
However a long running application is where the language's JIT features really shine, as they're able to optimize and reoptimize whereas a statically compiled language cannot. This is where you hear about "java faster than C++" simply because Java is dynamically compiled and C++ is statically compiled. C# has similar abilities.
The goal isn't to permanently lock down the media forever. It's to make it hard to copy during the initial high sales period. Sometimes it succeeds, sometimes it doesn't.
But flatly saying it "doesn't work" is misinformed, not insightful.
How so? Anyone who's used both know.NET is a knock off of Java (not to say Java is entirely original itself, but it's clearly.NET's main inspiration). I understand your confusion though. For non developer types, Microsoft has a done a great job making it unclear what.NET was/is.
It's like saying a Chevy is better than a one off secret uber car from the guy who designed the Hindenburg.
They're both very afraid of the waking Linux juggernaut, so it makes sense they'd team up to combat it. They've both recently has their asses kicked separately by it via Google and co, so they probably realize they need to work together.
Kind of like The Joker and Two Face teaming up to take on Batman.

Did the printing press make us dumber?
The Internet and associated technologies like the WWW are an intelligence enhancer on a larger scale than that.

This is well documented people!
Actually there is, it's called array bounds checks removal and escape analysis. ;)
Actually you have it almost completely backwards.

I'm pretty sure they're apple mod douche bags.
Where are they going to get that copy of Windows?
Update: Apparently it was just Ballmer who ditched use of Google in 2004.
It was meant as sarcasm but I should have figured the apple mod douche bags wouldn't get it.
yes, 10,000 extra users is practically doubling their userbase!

I'm sure apple nerds like to think they aren't nerds.
But they are... they're just nerds in turtle necks.
You must be new here!
No joke, it's just a corrupt Detroit politician shaking down big corporations for money.
The guy's wife got put in jail for doing the same thing when she was on the Detroit city council: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Conyers
Actually, I think this might just be Captain Larry Ellison closing the deal with the Sun.
No it's worse than that.
ITS GALACTIC WARMING!
We're doomed, the end is nigh!
I'm sure you don't see modern plumbing much either.
Lay off the crack bro.
To say that Java and .NET "don't fill the same roles" is hilariously retarded.
You've even managed to beat the fox news article I read earlier for FUD and stupidity!

Have you ever heard of Android or Google search, my anonymous bitch?

Steve calm down.
I'm sure you guys'll release Windows 7+1 and bounce right back.
*snicker*
It's funny how this new status appeared at exactly the same time as Apple's newly found controlling and assholish nature.

Don't worry bro, now that Microsoft's entertainment and electronic executives have been fired, Ballmer is back in charge.
Smooth sailing from here bro.
Microsoft needed moar Ballmer and it's getting it.
Windows 7 is a theme for Vista.
