[QUOTE="TastesLikeChicken, post: 3185576, member: 9539"] I develop in .NET yes (wouldn't really class myself as a .NET developer though) but it is the definition of an open standard. The CLR is completely open and anyone can develop their own languages to sit on on it (Iron Python & Iron Ruby are two outstanding examples of this). Also, look at all the help they gave to Mono/Moonlight (almost feature complete implementations of .NET/Silverlight on *nix) - Miquel didn't pull that one off on his own. The .NET runtime itself (on windows) is closed yes, but the entire .NET BCL (Base Class Library) is open source, as is the MVC framework. Microsoft are not the company they were 5 years ago. Much as I despise him, Ballmer has done quite lot to open up stuff since he took the reigns. Just have a look at the millions of lines of code published by them on codeplex.. [/QUOTE]
