DX10 leaning toward managed languages???

From my perspective dot net seems to have taken the backseat at M$ in that it hasn't-

been utilised in vista core in any meaningful way
offered in IE to provide some sort of applet / sandbox technology
huge chunks of directshow and dxutil not available without wrapping
j# support for migrating java apps was added, then removed, then added...

That and the blitz community still seems to be larger than the xna one, i'm sure that will change now 1.0 is out but I was pretty suprised the initial release fell so flat.
