Not wanting to be too biased about it, but I'm skeptical too. Remember the DCOM UNIX implementation by Software AG? That was an unmitigated disaster: it never worked properly and went nowhere. I also think it is highly likely that MS would fight any moves to make .NET availabe as Open Source. My feeling is that, if you need cross-platform functionality, you had better not look to MS technology to get it.
