Jrbl writes "NewsForge is running This editorial by Tina Gasperson about the possible implications for GNOME if it gets Mono (which allows patented components.) There's also a reference to this article at The Register in which Miguel de Icaza raves about Microsoft."

    Tina? Tina's a girl's name and everyone knows girls don't understand technology. Therefore this article is useless.

    Representing those comments as "raving about Microsoft" is a deliberate misrepresentation.

    No, it isn't. Miguel's interview reads like an ad for Microsoft and .NET. My first thought was "how much did he get paid to bend over and let Billy ream him?". His comments were nicely summed up in excerpt below.

    He also had praise for the new Microsoft security model, dismissed the notion that Redmond was employing embrace and extend to its web services protocols, and put the message that the community should get over its beef with The Beast.

    Clearly either the man is smoking way too much crack or he's sold out.
