Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
.Net sucks, compared to mono. The compiler is slower, filesize after optimization is still higher and the character set in cli is far more limited when I compile an app with .Net.
Are those the most important factors for a framework? Or in the top 5?
... and execution speed is faster. And they're both open source. I mean, good thing we have choices, right?
Source? I'd like to see some modern numbers about those compile times. Hasn't been my experience at all.
It's my personal experience. I would have to share my affected projects for a source, but I didn't release them yet.
Just try it by printing some special characters on the cli - like arrow symbols
Unfortunately the license agreement for .Net forbids publishing any kind of benchmark results.
