msh104 writes "The Mono project just released a nice status update for Mono. They also preview a roadmap for what the future will be like. It's quite nice to read if you want to find out if writing .Net programs for Linux will have a future for you. The Mono roadmap is available here." And gibbon writes "The DotGNU Project announced the availability of the DotGNU 0.1 CD-ROM release. It runs on many platforms and the CD contains documentation, packages for GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and MS Windows. It is now possible to use the base class libraries and XML. System.Windows.Forms and the web services are coming along well, too. The announcement contains more information and download links."

Because a) Mono is an implementation of the open ECMA-standard components of .NET, done without any knowledge of MS's implementation; and b) Mono is much more likely to help than to hinder MS, at least in the short term.
