The .NET and JVM communities feed off of each other, compete with each other, and copy off of each other. Sun brought an immense amount of technical talent (even if it was often out of step with what the rest of the community actually wanted/needed) to the table, which forced Microsoft to step their game up. As a .NET developer, I'm grateful for Java because .NET would still be barely struggling to get to 2.0 without the threat of Java around the corner!
