Mono's Cocoa# Underway, GTK# Takes on Windows.Forms
Gentu writes "OSNews posted some exclusive screenshots of a new project in the Mono community: Cocoa#. Apparently there are a couple of Apple engineers helping out the project that allows developers to create graphical Cocoa applications under Mac OS X using the C#, Python or Basic language. Mono seems to be doing well in the Windows land too, allowing developers to use GTK# instead of Windows.Forms to create multi-platform apps."
Great. Should be done by the time MS moves to avalon.
evil is as evil does
So, you're re-writing from scratch, trying to play catch-up to Microsoft? Why is this a good use of programmer time again? What real purpose does the Mono project serve?
Overrated / Underrated : Moderation
As long as there are people like you who look past all the sleazy and unethical things a company does then companies will continue to act sleazy and unethical.
MS knows that as long as they hand out the candy the masses will look past their assholeness. This makes them very happy.
As for me I choose not to give them any money. Just like I buy dolphin safe Tuna and shop downtown rather then wallmart. I know that every day and with every dollar I spend I can either choose to make the world a little better or a little worse. I realize that how I spend my money is infinately more powerful then how I vote and I take care in wielding that power for good.
It's all about my sense of right and wrong. Your sense of right and wrong are obviously different. You are willing to forgive all kinds of nasty behavior as long as the perpetrator sells you something nice.

I think you meant to say "ugly sister to"
