In light of the recent Mono 1.0 release there is a lot of coverage on Novell and Mono lately. NewsForge recently talked with Erik Dasque, the senior project leader for Mono, about the release of 1.0, the controversy and criticisms encountered along the way, and the plans for the future, while Miguel de Icaza spoke to CNET News.com shortly before the company began shipping Mono version 1.0. Elsewhere, InfoWorld posted an article about the "new face" of Novell.

It's for the same reason you see .class files instead of java executables. These aren't standard UNIX executables, they're bytecode that needs to be processed by an enterpreter.
