Your terminology is misleading, 'native support of .NET' appears to be a
contradiction since most people use the term 'native' to mean x86 code.
I understand what you mean now. However, note that Win 2003 Server had
..NET 1.1 installed from the distribution CD (and hence didn't require an
windows update), but that did not create a new .NET market.

What *might* change things, and I don't know as yet whether it will, is
WinFX. But again, I reckon that it will persuade more bespoke .NET apps
rather than shrinkwrapped apps.

Incidentally, the point of my article was that it's my opinion that
Microsoft have abandomed any intention of writing new code in .NET - the
new innovations in Vista will *all* be native (ie non-managed) code.
