It's predominantly used for just about everything that software is used for.

I am interested in applications that can interface devices connected via USB
or the serial port.
Also i am interested in design servers that an handle about 500 clients at a
time

You can't write driver in .NET (yet?!), but you can communicate with
Serial/USB port.
Probably by simply using the appropriate C API.

Well performance wise .NET will behave just as well as other technology in
client server area.
But it offers new venues, such as extremely easy remoting and/or web
services...

One small issue is that the communication might get disrupted for a small
timeframe when the GC kicks in.
I have a OpenGL program that I use for some VR visualizing and every now and
then the screen freezes for a second and then continues. For a game this
would kill you, but luckily it is not a game that I program where life and
death is an issue. ;-)

But except for this small isssue, .NET programs works very good for almost
anything.

Windows app, console apps, server apps, services, controls, applets - about
anything you can do; you can do with .Net.
