Java Creator James Gosling Hired At Google

    I don't know right now exactly what tech Microsoft has patented, but it's not in their best interest right now to destroy Mono.

    Yeah, not right now. It's truly best for them to wait until their competitor is using it, then strike out with the patents. ;)
