What do you want to achieve by inheriting a static class ? What are your specs ?
As for why static classes are abstract ? You can ask try asking in the MSDN forums.
The main reason that you cannot inherit a static class is that they are abstract and sealed (this also prevents any instance of them from being created).
So this:
Static class Foo { }
Compiles to this IL:
.class private abstract auto ANSI sealed beforefieldinit Foo
extends [mscorlib] System. Object
{
}
