De Icaza Pleads For Mono/.Net Cooperation

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday March 27, 2007 @09:17AM 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."

"Since that time there has been absolutely no reason for GNOME to exist."
Bullshit. GNOME has a very good reason to exist - emphasis on simplicity over configurability. Every time I look at KDE, the interfaces are full of controls and the configuration dialogs have tons of options. I much prefer GNOME's simple interfaces, even if they're less configurable. Granted, there are people who like KDE's configurability, but there are also plenty of people who don't like it. Thus GNOME's existence is justified.
