Your analogy doesn't hold. All these cars run on the same gas, on the same roads. OSs (in general) don't run on the same hardware, and they don't run the same software.
As for the previous poster, since most people only see two choices (PC/Windows, Mac) and the PC has a clear lead (they see them at work, being used in stores, etc.) the choice is an easy one to make.
I'll be using the language as soon as it comes out, since my business is market driven, and Microsoft rules the market. Personally, I don't care who comes up with the language, just that it works and is useful in some segment of my business.
