Well, this is surprising isn't it? Microsoft are handing over the Mono Project to the Wine developers with a thank you note.

Ah yeah. Mono didn’t support WPF, but Mono did support running WinForms apps natively on Linux without using Wine.

  The problem with WinForms is that at least serious 3rd party libraries do a lot of direct API calls I guess, hence Wine.
