Hmmm... seems like an awful lot of Microsoft haters here. Let me give another perspective. Also seems like a lot of people have no idea what .NET MF was all about. For embedded system developers that don't have the memory or power budget to run Windows Mobile (or embedded Linux) .NET MF is a God send. Modern development language, the best development tools on the planet, and cross platform execution are awsome.
That said, I think this whole thing sucks. I don't want community support for .NET MF. I paid for a license to the porting kit and I have a license to distribute and I don't want this whole product muddied up by a bunch of graduate students and social rejects who can't code worth a damn.
My hope is that Colin's statement is actually true and this reporter is just another sniping moron that won't be held accountable for being 100% wrong.
By the way, I should probably say that I am a pro-Microsoft, pro-Capitalism, pro-Freedom guy who believes that capitalism makes the world go around. (oh-yeah, I forgot Gun-toting and Conservative Christian (which should have been first, I agree) ).
Flame on.
