| See? You can have most of .Net ... but you can't write a GUI because Windows

| that a program originally written in .Net using Windows forms can be easily
| ported to that other platform ... Microsoft would certainly sue.
|
| Absolutely classic Microsoft behaviour, that.
|
| For Silverlight ... the piece of that that Microsoft have held back for
| themselves exclusively is the content creation part.
|
| You can only create Silverlight content on a Windows platform.

| What Mr. Goldfarb is alluding to is Microsoft's position that because of the

| permission to use Mono. All others (as implied by Mr. Goldfarb's statements
| here) are using Mono in violation of MS' patents.

If a site uses Silverlight, visitors should immediately complain. It's worse
than using ActiveX.

| As a final note, it would be nice if the new Fedora Project Leader would make

| shipping Mono with RHEL because of patents, because it's wrong to do it,
| because they don't want to support it, or because they don't support it yet.
