As you've already guessed C# really rules the roost for windows programming. If your starting out to learn C# and the framework then this book is really excellent.

It's for people who can already code and skips all the 'this is a variable, this is a array' stuff and goes to a nice depth of understanding what is actually going on in the framework.
Another great book is C# in depth by Jon Skeet, http://www.amazon.com/Depth-What-you-need-master/dp/1933988363/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267539804&sr=1-1
this is another excellent book that will get you up to speed in the latest in c# language feature in no time.
Powershell is nice because it's a scripting lanuage but it can also use .net objects so you now have all the power of the .net framework at your disposal.
Check out mono as well, they move very quickly to keep up with the MS implementation.
p.s. here is my little controversial advice, depending on what the job marketplace is like in your area, you might want to consider doing some of the MS certs. People like to crap on them but I consider it like any form of learning, You get what you put into it. If jobs in your area are all behind the recruiterwall then having the MS dev certs does make it easy to get past them unfortunately.
This book has been invaluable for me. It skips all the basic stuff and focuses on the feature set of .net and c#. Things like delegate and extension methods, LINQ, nullable types, and generics. It clocks in at only around 350 pages, too, so you can probably absorb it in a long weekend. And if you're interviewing specifically for a c# position, you should probably be able to write some code that isn't almost completely interchangeable with java.
