The point is with M$ muddying the waters with its XAML (to fight
mozilla) is addition to Win32, Win64, .NET, JRE, Ajax. If I was starting
a new project in the commercial areana as a rich fat client I think .NET
has the impetus, I'd put half my devs on Windows and half on Mono, The
Mono option may prevent M$ from pulling the plug on it once its served
its purpose (stymied Java), who knows what those pricks will do
And to dev .net you'd prob be best with c#, so by the time Kylix becomes
and option (with native cross platform dev) it will be irrelevant

I agree that Mono is certainly worth having a look at, by other people's
accounts it seems to be a very good option.

Why, Mono/JRE would be a 'better' option
