De Icaza Pleads For Mono/.Net Cooperation

Posted by kdawson on from the talk-to-me dept.

suka writes "In a recent interview with the online edition of an Austrian newspaper, Mono project-lead Miguel de Icaza pleads for cooperation between Mono and Microsoft's .Net: 'I think that the deal should include a technical Mono/.NET collaboration, and even go as far as Microsoft recommending Mono for all of their developers looking at migration'. The whole interview has some other interesting bits, like de Icaza's thoughts on open sourced Java and information about upcoming versions of Mono."

    My cousin tried Mono in college. Some bed rest and lots of fluid and she eventually got better.

    This is like a pimply teenager begging the homecoming queen to go out with him.

    Wait. Did I just compare Bill Gates to a homecoming queen?

      More like a pimply teenager begging his lifer cell mate to be gentle.

    Everything I said could perfectly be true.

    Sure. That can be said of any conspiracy theory. But we don't need a conspiracy theory for it. Linux haven't got standardized APIs for GUI programming because there are more than one group/person/whatever working on it.

    Refute my points if you want to and if you have the info, but attacking me? That's so catholic church-like.

    Yeah, I'm probably paid by Icaza to make fun of you. And the catholic church is probably into it too, all paid by Microsoft.
