Microsoft.net standardization

Microsoft has already certification for both C# and CLI from ECMA and ISO/IEC as Industry standards to help in enhancing the credibility of the newer. Net platform allures others to adopt .Net. Several companies and government organizations only utilize ISO certified technologies; for example, in Australia anything ISO certified is also considered Australian standard according to the rules of the Australian government.

Quite a few academic institutions are now interested in teaching standard C#. Major outcome of an open industry standard specification is .Net platform could be getting ported to other platforms like Linux and UNIX; best example is the Mono Project by Ximian- it is an open source implementation of .Net platform for UNIX and Linux based on ECMA approved Public Domain Specification of C# and CLI. Microsoft has released all intellectual property in the core C#/CLI platform to the public sphere. Henceforth, no one needs a license to implement C#/CLI. This helps one and all in enhanced accepting the implementations of C# and CLI which are at the core of .Net platform. However, the whole of .Net platform is not a Public domain standard- Microsoft still owns complete Intellectual property rights to several class libraries and API within the .Net platform.
