I'm not sure I see that.  Gnome is a desktop environment that has no 
ties to M$ technologies at all.  The same goes for Evolution (no ties to 
M$ technologies).  If Miguel wanted to build a development environment, 
he could do so with out having it tied to .NET.

As am I.

Your point?

Your opinion.  Like Microsoft Bob?

I don't knock anyone making money off of M$ based systems.  I become 
concerned with it when it appears someone is going to sell out to M$. 
Mono depends on .NET.  So the open source world begins to use Mono, then 
M$ changes .NET.  What happens?

The fact that you've been at it that long would reinforce the fact that 
you have made more $$$ from M$ then open source.  I'm not sure I see 
that as relevant.

Great!  I'm not knocking that.
