Avoiding Mono
,----[ Quote ]
| I do not use Mono because I believe it is
| not in our best interests. I chose Linux
| because it is an alternative. If I wanted
| Windows and .NET then I would choose that
| option. It is all about staying distinct
| and offering something different and
| better to my way of thinking. Getting
| Windows and .NET second hand is not what I
| want. You might not be surprised to find
| that I also donât use Wine for the same
| reason. Truthfully, I probably would not
| use Mono or Mono applications if its legal
| status was clear. I do not feel
| comfortable with giving Microsoft any
| leverage over us. The more Mono dependent
| we become the more we become subject to
| them and I did not get into Linux to be
| chasing after Microsoft and its standards.
| That is just me. I love independence. Each
| person must decide for him or herself.

NOME in .NET? â Not on my desktop!
,----[ Quote ]
| I believe the weapon of Mono is to âget Linux users hookedâ to the .net
| environment, always offering the superior and more mature version on the
| Windows platform. Just like when you first tried alcohol you would probably
| start off on lighter products until you acquired a taste for it, progressing
| later in life to liking stronger spirits. With Windows having
| the âdefinitive versionâ and users hooked or caught in the .net, Microsoft
| could effectively remove or hold to ransom the addiction of using .net from
| non-Windows users. Just an idea, but from a PR standpoint IMO it would seem
| far more viable than MONO being used to trick people into installing
| Microsoft patent infested code.
