While Miguel does mention that as a possibility, I suspect Microsoft will ensure their own implementation of .NET is not portable. Again, that is their MO. But Miguel looks to be more interested in what .NET can do to help GNOME. He likes the features it has. I don't really understand why he likes SOAP better than, say, CORBA, but again, he's the one doing the coding, so that's his call. Basically, he seems to be borrowing ideas from Microsoft. Which, I suppose, is fine, as long as, again, they are careful not to violate any intellectual property issues.
