Of course that's your primary interest. If it wasn't, you could have used any number of other "good" development platforms (like Java or python) on your O/S (like Linux). Nobody is mentioning the part where Ms. Morgan says: "Microsoft [has not] licensed anything to Novell/Ximian". I read the position basically as (my words) "Microsoft is happy that the Mono project gets more people to learn and use .Net. We can point to it if anybody complains that .Net isn't portable. But it ever poses a threat to us we reserve the right to pull the rug out from under it". _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
