Limit of C# versus languages like Java?

There's tons of articles on the net that say that java works on
solaris, windows, mac etc. Does this mean Microsoft's C# is limited to
Windows? But if not, what limits does it have? Would everyone need
the .NET Redist. to run WEB applications? Is it any faster?
