.NET replacement projects

SD Times had a recent story about replacements for the .NET runtime... They metion “Mono“ for Linux, and DotGnu.   Here's a quote.

Among the motivations for the project posted on www.dotgnu.org is “a desire to prevent Microsoft from achieving monopolistic control of ‘webservices,’

Um... monopolistic control of webservices?   I know what they're saying, but this seems a little Oxymoronic to me.  Anyhow, I,  for one, think it would be cool to be able to run my .NET app on a Linux box, or on a different runtime.
