Microsoft .NET CLI
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!"
By using this I give more power to Microsoft?
Ok, am I going crazy (possible) or is this story already on the Apple /. page?
Hansel USA - Chut up and read!
The MSDN Site
Can't take credit for it, already posted by the Slashdot folk...Both the download and documentation download is present on this page.
- Sighuh?
Now Slashdot's gone from not only repeating articles, but to posting duplicates of articles that are still on the front page!
(See about 3/4 of the way down the Apple section's page...)
I bought a Mac so I could be free from Microsoft. This is becoming more and more difficult every day. Bastards. Is there no rest from these guys? I was willing to live and let live while MS was just destroying the PC users' little world, but now it threatens to engulf everyone.
.Net when the Feds bust in and force me to at gunpoint (estimate: 6 months time)...
I'll use
Otherwise, I'll become Amish, burn my computer, and find out what this "nature" thing everyone keeps talking about is.

Make a .Net category for this stuff and /. editors wouldn't miss these redundant stories. Who knows what kind of crap/interesting news will come out about .Net in the future but whatever it is I don't want to read about it in the BSD/Linux/OS X/non-.Net category.
Thanks.
A fool throws a stone into a well and a thousand sages can not remove it.
Am I supposed to give more of a shit now that you have posted this story 3 times?
For some dumb reason, I didn't check the apple section before submitting this one... perhaps because I didn't submit it to the apple section...
Thought it was interesting, as I code for the Microsoft world and am never against having more options.
Please, go back to whatever usually goes on here, and pardon the repetitive redundancy.

Carry on as you please, you pranksters; roar with delight and malice--or dive again, pouring your emeralds into the deepest depths, and cast your edless white manes of foam and spray over them--everything suits me, for everything suits you so well, and I am so well disposed toward you for everything: how could I think of betraying you! For--heed it well!--I know you and your secret, I know your kind! You and I--are we not of one kind? You and I--do we not have one secret?

Hey this is the best thing I've heard since Saturday November 09, @02:00AM... ...oh wait.
The clearer and less strident license used by Microsoft just prove one thing: that MS product is a joke, a toy. They just hope that once you will have played with it enough, you will get the real product, with a real license.
You wish. The open source community is far too loaded with ressentiment for Nietzsche to have much positive to say about it.
It's called DotGNU ... It works in OS X ... not in older MacOSes.. And it's GPL'd. And it
builds here as well.. (which is rare)
And I saw a fink package somewhere too....

If you stupid idiotic Microsoft people would think...
.EXE and .DLL files produced with Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET tools under Linux. Microsoft will be supporting and putting forward a runtime based upon open standards, for which there already exist three different runtimes targetting unix and which are open source.
.NET is a runtime based upon open standards. It is a runtime that will run Microsoft's newest .EXE format as put out by Visual Studio, the only version they offer any more. They release this runtime for FreeBSD and MacOS. This is evil and monopolistic, obviously, in the sharing and cross-platform way.
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.
