Microsoft .NET CLI 35
Steve G Swine writes "That mammoth ECMA standards implementation project now builds on Mac OS X 10.2. The license is a little corporate, but actually seems clearer and less strident than some other licenses. Go, build, learn, have fun!"

I understand your negligence if freedom means you nothing, and/or you feel that the freedom is purely some sort of religious matter.
By looking back in history, we can see that the moral ignorance of the masses, has brought the 'wrong' leaders in power. In todays world multinational corporations are the true leaders in power. Therefore my only options are to vote with my wallet and talent. So for me choosing my tools by manufacturer is not a religious statement, but rather a moral one.
We could endlessly argue of what would the Microsoft-only world be like. I personally like true capitalism, where there's a real competition.
It's good to whine, while you still can.

Not that I don't think it has good potential, but I'm just seeing quality go down over the years. Or mayb just not keeping up with my expectations.

What would Microsoft do if they were ever going to do "the right thing"? Would they release a specification for a cross-platform runtime for a variety of different languages, and submit it to open standards comittees and encourage people to make implementations of this runtime and development environment? Don't you see how this plays against the supposed Microsoft monopoly theory?
With the mono project, you will very soon be able to run
Now that Microsoft is finally pushing what people wanted the web browser to become, a cross-platform runtime based upon openly documented standards for their exe files, no longer monopolizing the platform... you paraniod and uneducated children are REJECTING it as part of Microsoft's ploy to take over the world.
Microsoft is doing the one thing that makes sense for them to do. It's the perfect thing for them to do to sponsor open standards and platforms. And then, you anti-Microsoft children are paranoid of THAT as well. I bet Bill Gates is getting a big laugh out of that minor detail... and rightly so.
Blegh.
