It's annoying (from a Wine user's point of view) that .NET is actually
quite popular with developers. Microsoft .NET doesn't work properly
with Wine as yet, and certainly not for 1.0, but it's something that
needs to be gotten working better for Wine to continue to be
compatible.

(When 1.0 is released, you'll need big banners all over it: "Does not
support .NET! Mono 1.9 *might* work, no promises!")

Mono for Windows in Wine is getting there, 1.9 works better than 1.2
and "winetricks mono12" will fetch 1.9. Nothing is guaranteed, but
it's worth a try.
