Rumors of the futility of ReactOS were greatly exaggerated

Or a comprehensive .NET alternative

Officially announced the launch of the project Wine-Mono , within which a package with the implementation of the .NET runtime and class libraries for Wine was formed on the basis of Mono and other components. Wine-Mono is designed only to work in conjunction with the implementation of the .NET Runtime Execution Engine embedded in Wine (mscoree.dll). On the practical side, Wine-Mono allows you to organize the launch of .Net-applications without installing the official .NET framework from Microsoft in the Wine environment.

I convey to everyone who has buried ReactOS due to the lack of support for the relevant libraries, heartfelt greetings. Soon your argument will cease to be an argument.

I have published version 0.0.4 of Wine Mono on Sourceforge. I fully
intend to make this release a part of Wine.

The source tarball is at
sourceforge.net/projects/wine/files/Wine%20Mono/0.0.4/wine-mono-0.0.4.tar.gz/download

The binary is at
sourceforge.net/projects/wine/files/Wine%20Mono/0.0.4/wine-mono-0.0.4.msi/download

For developers, the source repository is at
github.com/madewokherd/wine-mono

Changes since 0.0.2:
* With Wine 1.5.4 and Wine Mono 0.0.4, it's now possible to run
mixed-mode assemblies.
* Mono 2.11 is now fixed
(0.0.2 contained a hacky work-around).
* Replacement for XNA 4.0 based on MonoGame is now included.
used if MS XNA 4.0 is not installed.
* Updated Mono from 2.11.0 to 2.11.1, bringing in the changes listed
here: mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/Mono-2-11-1-is-out-td4575466.html
* Changes from Hans Leidekker to make upgrading and removing the msi
work better.
* Added more registry keys to prevent native .NET from trying to
install while Wine Mono is installed.
* Various improvements to the build script.

Mono for Windows package
gluezilla (Mono's web browser
component) is missing. In all other respects I expect this to work as
Mono for Windows package, and if
not like to hear about it.

If this new build seems to be horribly wrong
It is the official part of Wine.

It’s not really clear where the bugs should be.
but I think Wine Bugzilla is appropriate.
