Mono Progress In the Past Year
Eugenia writes "OSNews posted an article accounting the applications created in GTK# the past 8 months, since the release of Mono 1.0. While many of them are still in their infancy, it's clear that the platform had a healthy progress, with 'super-hits' like Tomboy, F-spot, MonoDevelop, Muine & Blam! and other, less known gems, like SportsTracker, PolarViewer, MooTag, GFax, GIB, Sonance and Bluefunk. The 2.0 version of Mono is expected around May, but the developers advised distros and users to upgrade to Mono 1.1.4 despite being a beta."
You can never overestimate the ability of the open source world to be their own worst enemy.
Mono, because Microsoft should dictate how open source desktops work!
I mean, really, why do people continue to support this project? It's just asking to be squashed by Microsoft.
At least I know that with all those great Gtk# programs being written, I can run them effortlessly on my Windows machine along with all those applications written to run under Windows. Now I won't need that pesky Linux install anymore, I can go straight-out Windows!
Seriously, Mono is really a boneheaded move.
Go back to windows and MS U FAG.
An MP3-tagger.
Great.
What an outstanding achievement.
Exposing my anus to the famed Microsoft girth is wonderful, I didn't realize how great it feels with a hunky multinational waiting to ram home it's limp# litigeous member.
Keep up the good work Mono team, I love how you're handing out tickets for the titanic.
