Microsoft changed the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on Windows and Sun
objected to them doing this. Sun's position was that the JVM should be
the same on all platforms – which is an entirely reasonable position for
them to take.  Microsoft didn't think so and tried to persevere with
changing the JVM so Sun took them to court and won. Which was right.
Microsoft then created the CLR and C# which seems fine. The problem for
C# is that Microsoft marketing has put about FUD for anyone using C# on
a platform other than Windows.

But this has nothing to do with D!
