Open-source implementations of .NET and Silverlight, respectively.
Yes, I know, there are many open source implementations of proprietary
technologies, and nobody has a problem with them.
It's just that these are wholly spawned and bred by Microsoft and I
fear that the Open Source implementations will be prone to fall to the
same limitations and vulnerabilities (not necessarily code-wise, but by
*architecture*).
Not to mention the inevitable patent questions...
