Agree. But it is a big deal. If the CLR is ported to ARM then any c#/vb code will run very efficiently on ARM without even needing to be recompiled or making use of the x86 emulation. That's a big deal for a corporate environment.
I have tried it in CLR and native (machine code via .NET Native) modes. Both work great.
I'm pretty sure my Pi runs on an ARM chip, anyway
