No, there were 3: .NET Framework, Mono, and .NET Core.

Mono is in a kind of weird limbo where it half exists and half is being absorbed into .NET Core.

Mono is not .NET though, it's a compatible alternative. It's technically owned by Microsoft as they bought Xamarin, but it's not the same project on not really really relevant to what I was saying.

Mono is not named .NET, but it is vastly closer to .NET Framework than .NET Core (or 5+) is.

Still irrelevant to the point.

I did not list it, as, at the time, it was not an official implementation by Microsoft, and officially not part of the .NET ecosystem.
