Miguel de Icaza on Longhorn

Posted by Hemos on from the looking-to-the-future dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In Miguel de Icaza's latest blog entry the Mono project leader discusses the threat Longhorn's new technologies and frameworks pose to Linux and open source. He also directs users to this recent USENET post about the goals of Mozilla, which is a very interesting read. Originally seen on OSnews." Mmmm...Miguel smart. Seriously, good commentary - and ripe for discussion/flame wars.

  1. Over used argument by 1000101 · · Score: 1, Troll

    "but in some other cases they got fairly good adoption of their products with little or no effort: just bundle it with Windows: MSN messenger, Media Player."
    This argument is old and irrelavent. Every OS ships with pre-installed versions of complimentary software. Microsoft does it, Apple does, and Linux does it. If the OS blocked the user from installing other software that would be one thing, but they don't and you can install whatever you want to.
