Mono and .NET - An Interview

all-of-the-dot writes "Would you use an open-source implementation of the .NET Framework? Ximian's Mono project enables you to build .NET apps that run on Linux and Unix as well as Windows. Check out the story from .NET Magazine's interview with Miguel de Icaza, Ximian cofounder and CTO" Added to which, AirLace writes "The Mono project has just achieved full self-hosting on Linux. While the C# compiler, itself written in C#, has been able to compile itself since March, Mono can now compile its own complete set of class libraries too. This announcement closely follows the release of the Phonic media player, the first .NET application for the GNOME desktop."

......Oh my darling Java clients.

Why do I keep getting the feeling that Linux is still on the rebound from Java ?

Come on, everyone knows they were made for each other. They even share a common interest in
opposing Microsoft.

But Linux got sniffy because Java wouldn't open herself to him completely. Maybe she felt
she was too good for him, maybe she thought he'd never make good, just because he came from
the wrong side of the enterprise.

So what does he do ? He goes for another another girl who looks just like her.

"How I missed her,
How I missed her,
How I missed my Java clients,
Till I kissed her
Little sister,
And forgot my Java clients."

Hey, you forgot:

• XBox
• COOl
• Windows/Alpha
• Windows/PPC
• Windows/Mips
• Blackbird
• PenWindows
• Modular Windows
• "HomeR"
• "Otto"
• Ultimate TV

Actually, most Microsoft-projects fail miserably.

Microsoft, are you there?

Why do I feel like many of the highly-moderated posts on this thread were written by people on Microsoft's payroll? Has Slashdot been highjacked?
