I think you misunderstand much of Mono's value. It is not about attacking Java's base, its about giving the even larger Windows world the opportunity to explore new platforms. Having ported applications from dotNet to Mono, I have seen first hand its value. Fortuntely, Mono does not require your understanding to be very useful to many people. :) =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
