Where did you get your information?  Do you have a URL?  The other repliers
are delighting in nitpicking and Microsoft bashing, but no one seems to
have questioned the basic premise.

If I understand the .NET concept correctly, any COMPILED language will be
compiled to IL.  However, I don't think there is anything to prevent a
language from being interpreted.  That is, Python might survive in the .NET
framework as source text.
