There are at least two open source implementations of .Net (Mono and Portable.Net), LLVM's bytecode system has some support for CLI instructions, though I don't know how complete it is, and XMLVM has some ability to translate CLI bytecode to Java. > It's source > code is not open so also there is a bias not to use it because it may have > holes in it. Again, not quite true. It's true that /most/ of .Net is proprietary, but there are parts of it that Microsoft has open sourced (the DLR, some parts of ASP.Net, etc.), and still more that has been standardised, though not open source. I'm not interested in Microsoft bashing; I'm not interested in seeing myths perpetuated. But I still think Windows is rubbish. > And again it's bloated. > > Everyone has a bias.
