In my mind when it comes to using .NET I just assume people are talking about ASAP.NET (some sort of horrible VB.NET implementation).
mono is not an implementation so much as and interpreter/compiler for .NET on linux but it is still a MS language and a horrible one at that.
Also this would be the first time I have hard of Microsoft(the .NET part) and "standard" being used in the same sentence.
