There is currently an on-going Sourceforge project to port the .NET CLR to a
Unix environment. I've heard talk of .NET BIOS code, operating systems, etc. In
other words, it scales where Java fails to. You are right -- support isn't there
yet, but Microsoft is pushing it along. I don't know if it will ever provide
serious competition to Java. Personally I don't really care, either. :-)
