When I read about Microsoft open-sourcing .NET, my first thought were: Cool, finally Pain.NET might run on Mac OS X soon.<p>I'm not sure, whether my hopes are justified, but I bet there are quite a few nice applications out there that are on .NET and are either not at all available on Mac/Linux (Pain.NET) or with limited native support on Mono (e.g. KeePass).<p>Which .NET applications do you hope will get run (better) on Mac/Linux soon?
Rick Brewster, the creator of Paint.NET, damped my hopes already:<p>"This affects nothing for Paint.NET at this time."<p>Source: <a href="http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/30284-microsoft-open-sources-net-does-this-mean-paintnet-on-linux-is-possible/?p=418807" rel="nofollow">http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/30284-microsoft-...</a>
