[Mono-list] Platforms Mono will support?

[Simon Waite]

Speaking from a purely ASP.NET viewpoint vb.net is much more (IMHO)
important than Tru64. The potential ASP.NET developers that have asked
me about .NET and unix are all VB/JS guys with little interest/motivation
(from a commercial standpoint) in learning a new language /as well as/
learning the new classes.

Well, theres my contribution :-)
