I'm always disappointed when I hear about .Net being open sourced and .Net running on Linux and so on. Because the discussion completely ignores the existence of desktop applications. If you used Winforms or WPF or DirectX, etc. then you're still locked in to the closed source world and Windows only. I know desktop applications aren't cool anymore, but if you were cool, you wouldn't have used .Net in the first place.
