Yes.  I agree 100%.

At the same time there are those who are adopting .NET because
the boss say they must, even if they hate Microsoft.  It's
important to let them know that DotGNU will be
_downward_compatible_ to .NET

Don't forget to mention that because of the way in which
Microsoft is strategically placing itself in the center of the
.NET universe, .NET can only solve part of the problem that it
promises to solve.  DotGNU has come to solve that problem fully
and even go beyond it.
