Microsoft thought it could unlock the big data world for the .NET developers with a project called Dryad, but no one ever used it.  So they put their backing behind Hadoop as well.  

I talked to Wayne Citrin, the CTO of JNBridge last week and he explained how you can't program directly in the APIs with Hadoop streaming.  Interop strategies using streaming also introduce additional overhead, and possibly errors, due to the necessity of parsing the stream.
