| quote=''On Wednesday, Microsoft announced plans to release what amounts to a shared-source version of its .NET infrastructure for Windows and FreeBSD. Specifically, Microsoft says it has been working with the ECMA standards body and will release ECMA versions of the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), a C# compiler, and an ECMAscript compiler. The CLI is similar to the Java virtual machine, in that it acts as a translator between the .NET infrastructure and other platforms. Program manager Dave Stutz says Redmond will work with Corel to develop the code. ''

| quote=''Most of the .NET framework class libraries are present except for ADO.NET, Windows Forms, Web Forms, and Web Services. Either you or the Rotor community will have to implement these. On a less painful note, remoting, networking, and XML functionality (and source) are included.''

| quote=''My personal view is that the SSCLI project is doomed to spend the rest of its time only officially supporting that which it did when it was first released. If anyone knows any different then let me know. I couldn’t find any information on the web hinting that it would be updated if only to support Vista.''
