And it's only the server-side stack (asp.net, various database APIs etc) not the client-side stuff like GUI frameworks. Very limited use to amigas. Anyone interested should look at mono, that's a compatible client side stack that was written to be portable.

Mono is portable but libgdiplus port and partial Windows API emulation is needed. And in the future libgdiplus might depend on libpango. Pango on the other hand depends on glib monster.
Bleh.
