There is a .net framework for Unix based machines, whether they are in production or not I do not know, but if it isn’t I imagine it won’t be too long before it is available for Unix/Linux machines.

You can develop .net on most platforms as there are several projects, namely mono, that are open source and run on \*nix. But to actually run the applications on the web I don’t know of any servers other than windows that can, yet.

Ah I didn’t realise they were also the platform, or maybe that is their recent venture.
