    Interesting move. Now if Microsoft would help the Mono project directly, it might make .NET truly cross-platform and attractive. Then Microsoft would be able to compete for the best development tools, instead of on the basis of vendor lock-in.

    It seems like many Linux users would hate any MS assistance or intrusion into the OS. I'm all for MS helping the Mono project.

    Isnt that what the article is talks about, allowing others to use the open source specifications without charge?

    There is a difference between allowing a specification to be used, and helping make a specification a reality on a particular platform.
