Thanks Gerhard and Lucas,

So you guys saying that I can run any .NET application on my Linux?
Hope Microsoft Office uses .NET so I can install it on Ubuntu -- or am
I missing something? <grin>

BTW Microsoft got many things from Unix to MSDOS (directory handling
for example including the commands like mkdir, rmdir and cd, but then
the slash ('/') was already used by the CP/M parameters, so they
needed to invent the back-slash). They also developed Xenix which is a
Unix flavour, so Microsoft is not that Unix hater after all as it
seems to be.

I just want to see the results -- Microsoft products and software
libraries for Linux.
