I think this is just the Linux fanboys throwing **** around again. Really, these people are trying to impose restrictions on people even though they believe they promote freedom. This is the same people who jump up and down when ever someone has a problem with Windows and says "come to Linux, all your problems will be solved", especially without taking the persons particular computer usage needs into account. All OS'es have problems and faults. Your just moving to whole new set of problems when you change OS. Sometimes its good and sometimes its bad. Certain OSes are good for some people and others are better of with other OSes. Again, these are the very same people who jump up and down and say Microsoft is some evil corporation out to stab, mug, steal, rob, rape and murder everyone. And again the same people who use the terms, "M$, MicroShaft" and what not. Mono opens up new development choices, new development choices means more programs for Linux, more programs means a better range of programs for users. Just because C# has come from Microsoft doesn't mean it should be shunned. As someone so rightly pointed out somewhere, its like not including gcc because of a dislike of Bjarne Stroustrup. Seriously, this is a pathetic attempt to try and "make some noise" and tell everyone how Linux is so good, it would never need anything from Microsoft. Come on folks, be serious now. Mono is a good thing, if Microsoft were really keen on trying to sue Mono, don't you think there might of been some sort of showing of it at least somewhere. Hell, we can get Windows 7 leaks, but you don't think people are going to leak information about suing Mono? Some people just need to grow up and stop waving around their flags. People need to make consumer decisions rather then trying to stomp out companies. Linux fanboys are quick to point out that Microsoft has in the past practiced some bad business practices, but at least Microsoft isn't mouthing off at every corner at the competition. Linux fanboys need to be put into their place. Including Mono in distros will shove it right back at them - it needs to be included in Linux distros, not just for technical reasons, but for morality reasons. I think Linux needs to show that it isn't just some big ass moral bully. You know the saying, give a little, take a little. Linux people want Microsoft to back down, but instead of trying to create cooperation, its always about bagging Microsoft out. From jumping up and down and saying "we don't need Microsoft-derived software in Linux" to the nice little M$ and other condeceding names. Its not getting anyone anywhere. Everyone needs and likes different things. We should be giving people those choices, not making them work for what they want.
