What about it is so amazing? What is more amazing than the JVM or ILE?

The
optimizing JIT is incredible. We've actually debugged some of the
generated machine language from a optimized C# function, and I've seen
the JIT throw out huge chunks of code as unneeded.
Not to be argumentative, but optimizing compilers are pretty old technology, Walden. Have you ever read any of the optimization redpapers from IBM? Talk about incredible. It's some of the only programming that I have ever had a hard time following, it's so sophisticated. Or how about JVM optimizations? The JIT compiler in Java is nearly a decade old.

Much of what is in CLR has been done already, and either more tightly integrated, in the case of ILE, or more generally available, in the case of Java. Yes, the CLR is a big step forward for Windows. But it's not really that big a deal compared to other languages.
