It's good to finally hear from someone mutually intelligible (there's not many of us here) and thanks for the quick reply. I had some fun playing around with the GTK# features in Mono, but am kind of turned off by not having a design view for ASP.NET available at my whim. I also noticed a few controls (not many and I don't remember which ones) aren't available. That's the price you pay though. I have to admit, the platform has promise. The Intellisense, or Auto Code Completion doesn't work for me, though. Don't really need it, but it would be nice. I would love to play with it more, but for now, i'll stuck with Visual Studio. It really IS the best development IDE for any language or platform I have ever used. On the other hand, I also got a chance to play around with the NetBeans IDE and LAMP, and while I have experience with PHP, Java was a nice change. I still can't shake the fact that C# has a VERY promising future. It's like a perfected version of Java. I installed Ubuntu, but unfortunately, I have a HDD failure issue that freezes me up all the time. (I installed on a terrible 5400RPM 60 gig Maxtor with what I'm guessing is a read issue.) I'll stick to Windows for now, but when I finally do get a chance to buy a few computers, Ubuntu and LAMP/Tomcat will be running on atleast one of them.
Thanks for the help brother.
