But will it (WINE) run .NET applications?

According to a Groklaw post<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.NET applications will not run on WINE (that is what CodeWeavers is based on)! Is this true?

  "<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.NET is a big example of Microsoft's "embrace, extend, extinguish" philosophy. In principle, C# should be implementable on Linux. The<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.NET framework does so much bizarre Microsoft specific stuff, where Microsoft has patents, that I think<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.NET is really a Windows only platform.

This is a really big problem, because I am seeing lots and lots of activity in<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.NET, and if Linux can't run<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.NET then an entire class of applications is
blocked". Does anyone know if<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.NET will even install under WINE?
