That is just a *little* bit too simplistic for my liking. .NET and JVM are two very different beasts. The fact that GPCP can target both of them is one of the few similarities.

John Gough, the GPCP compiler designer, explains it a lot better than I ever could. I recommend the following:

"Stacking them up: a Comparison of Virtual Machines"

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi.1.1.13.3977&rep=rep1&type=pdf

"Compiling for the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR)"
