[Pc_Support] .NET based on Java?

[Paul M Foster]

Bryan (or others):

At one point, you made the claim that the .NET framework was based on 
Java (1.1?) code that Microsoft had licensed from Sun. Am I remembering 
that correctly? If so, are there any articles to be found (preferably 
online) which provide evidence for this claim? You're the only one I've 
heard make it, but then again I don't pore over a bunch of tech articles 
all the time.
