And way off the mark. 
At this moment the Dotgnu system is only usable by developers. There
are no products that could be used by anyone. 

I think that it is a mistake to close the door to non-free
customization and support of the dotgnu. 

In fact, the lacking of any obvious industry support is just a symptom
of this thought pattern.
