InfoWorld.com: Microsoft to unveil .NET software for non-Microsoft platforms

"Microsoft will unveil new software next week that will allow Web services created using its .NET technology to run on computers that use operating systems other than Windows, Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's chief executive officer (CEO), said in a speech here Monday evening."

"We'll make some announcements Monday where we'll have ways for people who are not running on top of a Microsoft platform ... to implement our .NET services," Ballmer said, speaking at a dinner hosted by Silicon Valley non-profit group The Churchill Club."

"Asked if the operating systems supported will include Linux, seen by some as a competitor to Windows, Ballmer replied that they would."

"Do we have a way for people who host Web sites on Linux to build on [.NET]? Yes we do. That's not to say our overall strategy is not to get those Web sites over to Windows, but we will provide a way for those Linux servers to use .NET," Ballmer said."
