Hi Aloys,
That said, they might support their runtime on linux soon... we'll see!
While the mono crew have already announced they'll be supporting it
there's no way I'd ever recommend going with it (especially on linux).
My guess is that Microsoft's plan is to have their technologies
supported on linux - by someone else is even better for them.
Encourage people to uptake them and invest a significant amount of
their infrastructure in these "free" technologies.
Remember all this time there are no patent guarantees for any of this
- not even time limited ones for Suse customers. So they'll be wide
open to extort... err I mean "license" their patents to you at
whatever they decide is an acceptable rate. Which will probably be
just under what it would cost to reimplement with truly free
technologies.
Cheers,
Alan.
