beda sama mono. kalo mono hanya C# nya saja..kalau dotGNU lebih
ambisius lagi yaitu menggantikan dotNet alias menciptkan 'jurus baru'
yg  lebih  kuat drpd dotNet. Mono itu kalo ngga salah dikompile dengan
menggunakan C# nya Microsoft loh.

"DotGNU - Keeping You from Getting Tangled in a Net!
The  DotGNU  project was originally started in reaction to Microsoft's
.NET  strategy,  for  which it will be a complete replacement (and not
just  a Free Software implementation). The part of .NET strategy about
which  we  are  most concerned is Hailstorm (recently renamed ".NET My
Services"),  which  is  in fact Microsoft's attempt to gain control of
the internet and its users. In contrast, the goal of DotGNU is to give
computer  users  full  freedom  to  use the internet as they want. For
example,  the  DotGNU approach to "web services" will make it possible
for  end users to run webservice software on their own PC, so that the
users  are not forced to migrate their data to the webservice servers.
DotGNU will use a decentralized paradigm: No single company, server or
entity  will  control authorization. This avoids privacy problems like
those  recently  pointed  out  in a letter from the Electronic Privacy
Information Center (EPIC) on Microsoft's Passport system.

Furthermore,  DotGNU  will  emphasize security, it will use encryption
wherever  possible  to keep user data secure and hidden. (According to
the   article   Risks  of  the  Passport  Single  Signon  Protocol[1],
Microsoft's  approach  has  some  fundamental  problems in the area of
security.  In  fact  it appears that Microsoft is storing the password
and  username  for  Passport  as  clear  text,  a huge security risk.)
Because  of  entirely  unrelated, serious security problems, Microsoft
was forced on Nov 2, 2001 to disabled the "virtual wallet" function of
the  Passport  service  as Marc Slemko published a sample exploit that
demonstrates a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

There  are no real remaining traditional competitors to MS, and the US
government  recently failed to contain MS, so the field is left to us.
MS  has  announced  that  it  has  "bet  the company" on .Net, because
"Webservices"  represents  the  future, and Windows and MS Office will
become progressively less important. So DotGNU stands between where MS
is  and where it wants to be. Therefore DotGNU and .Net represents the
ultimate showdown between proprietary and Free Software. "
