        I am noticing that a significant amount of open source software is emerging 
from the C# development platform. Is the runtime 'open' (free 'as in freedom' 
software)?  I am genuinely curious, is your current C# career in commercial 
programming for client side, server side? What percentage is FOSS?  The 
reason for the question is that I assist others who have questions about the 
current trends in program development, and I myself am very interested in the 
current state of FOSS development (my own biases aside, I always am open to 
learning new things).
        The other thing I would like to know (all fud symantics and bias aside) from 
someone devoted to using C# for the last five years, do you think that the 
perceived performance problems of C#.NET programming is due to the 
experience/quality of the products themselves, or is it inherent in the (CLR) 
runtime?  I remember when I was doing Java some time back I loved the 
language but I hated the runtime... and I didn't like JIT that much better. 
What's your take?


TIA
