This is true. However, part of the reason is that Ada
folks generally HAVE been concerned with portability,
while Microsoft is concerned with preventing it!
Ada on .Net would be a Good Thing, but if it
would remain truly Ada, it would be a Better Thing.
.Net and C# are basically an attempt to make a
Microsoft-controlled alternative to Java.
I'd like to see Ada on .Net, but I know that
Gates & Co. will do everything they can get away
with to make it incompatible with any other Ada,
just like they did with Java.
If you consider this a flame, so be it.
