M$ wanted to capture the development market and to do this they took the
very best out of several languages (such as Java, C, Cobol etc) They wanted
to create a building plot in which developers could use true OOP programming
languages no matter what there background in the field. By creating the
runtime to be language neutral was there ploy to allow any language to be
used, allowing more developers to work together more freely. So they figured
that if there was one system that could be used
cross-platform-cross-language and was truly OOP (something which M$ had
never achieved before).

A better, fuller description with perhaps less of a political slant can be
found in the first chapters of "Essential .NET" by Don Box with Chris Sells.
Don Box, with his enormous experience in COM programming, gives an
tremendous description of what COM was really trying to do, why it failed to
ever do it elegantly, and how the .NET framework and the managed code
execution model solve those problems.

At any rate, "Essential .NET" is truly an excellent, excellent book for
anyone interested in what's going on inside of .NET, and I highly recommend
it for questions like this one.
