I don't think there's any point in worrying about this.  Microsoft open-sourcing 
.NET and making Visual Studio freely available is a great contribution to 
software development.  Rather than worrying about whether it will take away 
opportunities from D, we should just focus on making D as good as it can be and 
solving the problems of the people who find it compelling.
