De Icaza Pleads For Mono/.Net Cooperation

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."

Because SUSE will soon become MS-linux

[denis-The-menace]

It will take some time (5y, 10y tops) and MS will buy Novell, puppet of 2007
By then, they'll probably even buddle Exchange and SQL

I know I might be trollin' a bit here but I still think "Novell's deal with the devil" is a win-win for MS:
-Suse Dies => big woop for MS
-Linux Dies (as if) => party time @ MS (and possibly the break up of MS a-la-ma-bell)
-Suse becomes real big => MS gets first dibs to buy/control it.
