.NET for Linux and Mac ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Thanks to tacticalogic for the heads-up!!

Please explain the major functions of .net. It always seemed opaque and mysterious to me.

I doubt it will ever get a CON.

Just what does .NET bring to the table for Linux and Mac that they’re lacking right now? Frankly, Microsoft’s motives in this should be looked at very closely; they haven’t been remotely trustworthy in their dealings with potential and real competitors.

I think the only value it has is to give the ability to port legacy .NET apps to non-Windows servers without having to rewrite it.

But at least now MS can sell .NET as not forcing you into vendor lock-in.

Microsoft opens .NET for OS X and Linux. . . PING!

Microsoft opens .NET to Apple OS X
