Mono fits in neatly with the Microsoft vision

| It fits in very neatly with the definition of evangelism at
| Microsoft: "Evangelism is the art and science of getting developers to ship
| products that support Microsoft's platforms". (thanks to greygeek on the
| linuxtoday forums).
|
| The definition is contained in a highly confidential document
| titled "Effective Evangelism" which came to light during the Comes v
| Microsoft trial.
|
| The author, James Plasmondon, writes in his introduction: "Every line of code
| that is written to our standards is a small victory; every line of code that
| is written to any other standard, is a small defeat."
|
| Novell would probably have a view on this and with this in mind, I rang
| Michele Bartoline, the company's marketing manager for Australia and New
| Zealand, who was listed as a press contact on the media release. She wasn't
| available so I left a message.

| "I know the deal we did with Microsoft caused a lot of noise and flack in the
| market," Hovsepian told OSBC on Tuesday. "And I wish I'd done a better job of
| communicating that. But the thing that caught in my head was the customer.
