Using Visual J# in a first programming course.

I'm considering using VJ# in a first programming course in addition to or in
place of
JBuilder and the J2SE. Given install problems other students have had, VJ#
seems like a nice alternative.
I expect criticism. But:
1. Most of my students are using WinXP.
2. VJ#.Net Express is free and has an outstanding GUI.
3. Code written in VJ#, via the Mono Project could always be ported to other
platforms.
4. Java compiler source seems close to moving into Open Source - I think!

What is the groups opinion
TIA
Bob
