Oooh that is interesting.
Ive recently learned C#, but dont know jack-**** about java (ok I looked at it, and it didnt look super-different from C# so its probably easy to learn...), so that would be awesome for me

LOL

We all will be porting over EXE in no time LOL

It would be a lot more interesting if it wasn't a big commercial for their overpriced Mono for Android SDK.

Not to mention the not-so-subtle scare tactics they employed in the incipit of the article quoting the Oracle v. Google case (I doubt that the CLR VM is not encumbered by any Java-related IP - at least, that's what Jonathan Schwartz told Gates/Ballmer to scare them away when they tried to strong-arm Sun into entering an IP licensing agreement for OpenOffice).

I'd like to see it run on an Android device. Have them cook up a ROM that does their C# .NET CLR thing instead of Dalvik.

From what I can gather it's sort of an emulator for use in development at the moment?

Personally I was not thinking of roms. I realize android is young and dalvik is young or whatever but they are constantly improving so unless they could show a bench mark with a 200% increase set in stone I wouldn't flinch.

I was personally thinking this could be a great start to porting more things over to android and maybe stealing some apps that would otherwise only run on windows or ios etc

I don't know I just thought it was interesting that the more android grows the more projects like this seem to branch out and make more and more things possible.
