    It's great how much bigger companies do this, here's a transcript I recorded recently:

    Informant Exec: So online mag, this is totally off the record, but we're thinking about cloning something Apple is doing.
    Online Mag: O RLY?
    Informant Exec: Yeah, it's going to totally fucking kill Apple.
    Online Mag: Wow, that sounds amazing, what is is?

  25. Re:Why doesn't Miguel just go to work for Microsof on All GPLed Code Removed From MonoDevelop · · Score: 1

    Actually, you're COMPLETELY WRONG.

    Wine is an clean room reimplementation of the Win32 apis and userland.

    Mono is a clean room reimplementation of the .NET apis and userland. .NET is essentially Win32+1.

    Neither are very compatible and both have questionable legal status.

    So really, Wine is probably the closest project currently existing in FLOSSland to Mono.

    Cheers to the idiot mods who modded your post informative.
