Mono to be renamed as Duo
,----[ Quote ]
| Mr de Icaza told those assembled that he had always had a dual purpose in
| starting the project - to provide an implementation of Microsoft's .NET
| development framework so that Linux developers could enjoy the wonderful
| programming tools built in Redmond and also to ensure that in future Linux
| became so integrated with Microsoft that it would not be possible to pull the
| two apart.

| is Mono's role in the deal that of a hook to make customers write

| later on that they are armless or legless because of a change in
| the .NETspecifications, a change which Microsoft decides not to
| make public?

| And here we have an individual who decides to replicate one of
| the proprietary company's development environments - for reasons
| best known to him alone - and keeps telling people that the reason
| he's doing it is so that he can pull people over from the
| proprietary company's side to his side!!!

Mono? Mono!

| Note the lack of good faith:
|
| Nobody said that "GNOME depends on Mono"; rather, Mono is pushed into GNOME,
| distros are installing Tomboy and F-Spot and Beagle by default, and users
| are intoxicated to believe that they can't live without Mono!
|
| "GNOME depends on libbeagle, a Mono program": Sir, we knew that libbeagle is
| a C library! But why is it there? (Do you need a hint?)
|
| "NDesk-DBus is replacing DBus in GNOME": I'm afraid this will happen one
| day!
|
| "Someday soon it will be practically impossible to write any app for GNOME
| without being forced to use MONO": Yes, this is going to be true! (Alas...)
