arstechnica.com — Mono, an open source implementation of the .NET runtime, is being used to build games for the iPhone and Wii. Ars looks at how static compilation has made it possible for Mono applications to meet Apple's requirements for inclusion in the App Store.

Actually, Mono does implement Windows.Forms: <a class="user" href="http://www.mono-project.com/WinForms">http://www.mono-project.com/WinForms</a>It's also not a stripped down Mono, you are thinking of the resulting binaries which have all classes and class methods stripped out of them that aren't used. Sorta like the Linux command 'strip' which strips out unused symbols.So no, it's not a completely different platform. It really is ".NET" (except Mono, of course).

Yes, and this is just theory. I don't care about theory, what I care about is RESULTS. Pretty much all the benchmarks show that C# is significantly slower than C/C++ (at least 10%).

Digg should review this story. It seems there has been a Web 2.0 abuse party either by MS monkeys or Novell monkeys overnight.Check for Bangalore IPs.

As it is a MS rejected monkey coding that trojan, good choice.
