I think pretty much everything is different. No point in replicating everything here so just posting a hyperlink:

To my knowledge some part of ASP.NET is also open source, contrary to what is mentioned in the post above.

One very important note, in case you are not aware. MVC is an application development design pattern. Microsoft has nothing do with it. ASP.NET MVC is Microsoft's implementation of that design pattern. Many languages have this implementation. Some people often land up thinking that either Microsoft invented it or is exclusive to Microsoft. Both is incorrect.
