Not sure if those statements were meant to be related, but while I don't expect .NET to disappear anytime soon, for App Forge to be a cross platform environment it has to be available for the platforms too. So you could try asking all the AF developers who were frustrated or switching IDE's in the first 10 or so months after devices were shipping with Palm OS5 but they could not run any AF based applications. That wasn't development only -- they couldn't run any AF applications period. Will history repeat itself with ALP (ACCESS Linux Platform)? I have no way of knowing.
