It's an attempt at a clone.  It is still well behind the curve.

The CLR is similar to the JVM but it supports a wide range of
languages.  "Managed code" running on windows runs on the CLR, not
directly on the hardware.  I don't know how many Microsoft products
are written to run on the CLR--the ones written in C# and Visual Basic
will but C++ crosses boundaries.
