Mono Progress In the Past Year

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the lumbering-ever-onwards dept.

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."

  1. Could Microsoft Take over Linux? by palndron · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Ok, this is not a troll, but is problebly off topic.

    I was just wondering - what if?
    What if MS came out with MSLinux ( just a flat rebranding of RH ). What if it was just as free as other Linux distos, but had enough closed software added onto that base that they could customized Linux versions of their apps to only run on thier distro?

    Wouldn't they give corporate customers looking at linux an alternative to Windows that would keep them with MS? Better a rebranded MSLinux and MS Apps/support lic. then nothing right?

    Could that happen?
