Mono 2.0 and .NET On Linux

Posted by kdawson on from the receding-taillights dept.

Several readers noted the release of Mono 2.0, which is compatible with Microsoft's .NET Framework 2.0. According to Miguel de Icaza, "... users can move over server applications built for .NET and client applications built with Windows Forms." InternetNews points out that only about half of the .NET apps out there will work on Mono 2.0, for a variety of reasons including (but not limited to) legacy Windows-only libraries and Microsoft's progress on .NET 3.0 and 3.5 APIs.

    Except C# is much better than Java and .NET is much better than J2EE.

    FLAMEBAIT -- get a life!
    Anyone who has experience of both J2EE and .NET will tell you that .NET is better thought out, has a more consistant design,
    has cleaner easier to use APIs, scales better, performs better
    and is altogether a much nicer environment to work in.

    I am sorry if this upsets the Slashdot worldview but its the truth.
    Microsfot are better at software than Sun.

    Yay, another shlashdot poster with shit for brains. What in the world makes you believe even a fraction of your argument is true in any way, shape or form?
