Moonlight Desklets - Mono desktop widgets

,----[ Quote ]
| The Mono project team created a desktop widgets environment similar 
| to SuperKaramba or gDesklets. While in early development the C# based 
| project has interesting features like running separate or combined 
| sandboxes.

Who would use Mono now?

,----[ Quote ]
| With Java available as default in every Linux distribution (made
| possible by the move to GPL) I think Java has a great future on
| Linux. Better integration into the Gnome and KDE desktops would be
| nice, but I guess that is just a matter of time now that it's
| Open Source.

| You can call it FUD, but for me it's a question of investing my time
| and energy in technology that are and will be available on the
| platforms I use (Mac OS X and Linux). I don't trust Microsoft and I
| don't trust Novell anymore either. Who knows when Microsot will bring
| out it's patents and kill Mono use outside of Novell? I think .NET is
| good if you want to develop for Windows only. For cross platform
| development I would not use it - I would go for Java.
