Yes, that is what I meant. Microsoft knows before anybody what will be the next *great* thing in .NET and C# language. They have the upper hand on anybody else developing tools for the .NET framework and C# language features. Mono might beat them by allowing the .NET framework to run on multiple platforms, but Microsoft controls the features.
