Gordon Hartley pointed this out on ruby-talk: according to notes made by Matt Raible, Don Box, speaking at Microsoft's Competitive Influentials Summit conference, said:

Richard Monson-Haefel asks "Is there a place for AOP in .NET or is it too sophisticated for your developers." Don's take is "My development platform should allow me to write code w/ a couple of beers in me." He ragged a bit on Java developers and said their main problem is they think they're smarter than they are. He also said that if he could change on thing at MSFT, it would be that Ruby becomes the language of choice.
