Microsfot Visual Studio .NET is not the same as MONO. At this moment,
mono is only the runtime and (if you want to include it) the C# compiler.
You have other tools that can work together with mono (debugger,
monodoc, nunit-gtk, etc...) At the end, we want to have the same as
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET but in the free world.

See you,
