+     <li> Our class libraries are licensed under the terms of the MIT
+          X11 license which is a very liberal license as opposed to
+          the GNU GPL with exceptions, this means that Mono can be
+          used in places where the GPL with exceptions is not
+          permissible.
+
+     <li> Mono has a complete Web Services stack: we implement ASP.NET
+          web servers and web clients as well as implementing the
+          Remoting-based SOAP infrastructure.
+
+     <li> Remoting implementation: Mono has a complete remoting
+          infrastructure that is used in our own codebase to provide
+          added functionality and performance to our ASP.NET engine
+          and more.
+
+     <li> Mono has a complete <a href="c-sharp.html">C# 1.0</a>
+          implementation and has been stress tested a lot more than
+          Portable.NET's compiler.
+
+     <li> Mono's C# compiler has strong error handling and has closer
+          adherence to the specification.
+
+     <li> Mono's C# compiler is written in C# which is easier for new
+          developers to come in and improve, fix and tune.  The Mono
+          C# compiler in C# is faster than their C-based compiler.
+
+     <li> Preview of C# 2.0: a work in progress for a 2.0
+          implementation of our compiler is available (iterators,
+          generics and anonymous methods are available in our
+          "preview" compiler).
+
+     <li> Mono has a complete Reflection and Reflection.Emit: these
+          are important for advanced applications, compilers and
+          dynamic code generation.
+
+     <li> Mono has a <a href="xml-classes">complete managed XML
+          stack</a>: XML, XPath, XML Serializer, XML Schema handling
+          are fully functional, feature complete and tuned for
+          performance.
+
+     <li> Mono has a complete cryptography stack: we have a complete
+          crypto stack: we implement the 1.0 and 1.1 APIs as well as
+          using our fully managed stack to implement the SSL/TLS
+          transports.
