It is correct that MS never rewrote MSO from C++ to C#.
They did port VS to C# though.

But C# is all over. Finance, e-commerce, government etc..

The one C# app that I suspect that everyone here has used
is Wikipedia search. Wikipedia choose to do their search
using Lucene.NET instead of normal Lucene (Java based).
