Yeah, investigated it pretty seriously a few years ago.. it was
a fairly complete implementation of .NET 1.1 (at that point) but light
on, or just missing the ADO.NET / ASP.NET stuff we wanted..
If I had exisiting C# code, I’d be excited about this new
release for sure.. I wouldn’t start a fresh project with it though (ready
for production use? Serious competitor for java?)..
Can’t see it harming interest and adoption, though.. a lot
of people (like me) like .NET but would rather be impaled on a spike than have the
world’s least secure OS in the server room!

The latest
release of Mono, the Open source implementation of .NET is released today.
Could this help the take up of .NET generally? The more platforms .NET is
available on the more interest there will be in it I would have thought.
Anybody been involved in Mono?
