Miguel de Icaza on Mono, Ximian/Novell, XAML

Posted by simoniker on from the life-in dept.

moquist writes "Netcraft has an interview with Miguel de Icaza, of Gnome and Ximian fame. Icaza expounds his thoughts on Mono (the .Net framework for open source), the current direction of Microsoft's .Net, Novell's acquisition of Ximian, Novell's Linux desktop environment, Linux for grandmas and kids, and "the greatest danger to the continuing adoption and progress of open source" (Hint: it's pronounced "XAML".)."

    Slashdot's layout is messed in Gecko-based browsers on Linux. The stories often slides over to the left and overlap the menu. You can often reload the page and see their placement change. I just tested this with Mozilla 1.6 and Galeon 1.3.14 on Debian sid.

    Comments?

      It does that occasionally with Firefox on Windows as well. Not a big deal, just hit reload.

    What is it you don't understand? That link generates malicious code that will worm itself through windows machines... Is that censorship?
