There's also DotGNU (http://www.gnu.org/projects/dotgnu/ ), which is
an effort to duplicate .NET, without duplicating some of its more
un-free and monopolistic tendancies. From what I understand, they try
to keep everything decentralized, and they also try to make sure you
can run any web services locally if you want to.

Like Gerhard, I'm not particularly interested in these efforts myself.
