Anyone who thought that .NET was going to stay on the Microsoft platform was
simply wrong. Microsoft submitted .NET to ECMA (http://www.ecma.ch/) in the
hope that other vendors would implement it.
You'll soon find a version of the .NET Framework for the Linux platform
courtesy of several members of the open source project. The fact that
Microsoft wants little to do with open source (but is being forced into it
bit by bit by developers) lends irony to the entire project.
