    They are compiled into an interpreted binary.
    Again, C# code is not interpreted at any level. Unlike Java by default, the intermediate language is compiled on the host.

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but is C# not ran strictly on the .NET framework?

    C# was designed specifically for .NET, and other than implementations such as mono which, ignoring specifics, brings .NET to open-source OSs, I have never heard of C# being used to go straight to binary code.

    Nor have I. It is a .NET language, and as such is run on the .NET framework. I would say performance-wise .NET has an edge over the Java Virtual Machine, but that wasn't the point. I still prefer Java over C# since sun is nicer about the JVM as opposed to Microsoft who may as well keep .NET inside Fort Knocks.

    Java, as it was designed, is an interpreted bytecode. C# is intermediate code, that is compiled at runtime by the .NET Framework.

    You may compile both at compilation time using external tools, losing any advantages you had concerning platform independence or hardware specific optimization. No one really wants that.

    By that logic, the creators of Mono would by swimming in gold bars by now.

    Once Mono gets powerful enough, I think it should rename their .NET framework for linux to something like ".ORG framework", and then behind the works create the .ORG framework for all operating systems! And then buy out Microsoft and take over the world!

    Sure bring up mono all the while neglecting how long it took for Microsoft to publically release decent amount of .NET framework specs. I'm sorry but yes I am on the anit-microsoft bandwagen, but at the same time its not for unfounded reasons.
