    I always thought that mono is a dumb project that will enable MS to make the stupid claims on OSS as it does.
    The developers are wasting their own time and ours as community while making life dangerous for us OSS developers.

    I will never touch anything that is even remotely connected to what MS is doing.

    Big waste of time!!!

      I wholeheartedly agree. I can't for the life understand why these bloody wankers are polluting Linux with their stupid useless completely unnecessary microsoft crap. Even Red Hat is falling into the trap, with that stupid defunct Beagle product, which, by the way, will put your cpu to 100% even when it's not doing anything, on a stock FC6 that is.
