Mono Project Unix was originally all about not being... Multics. If Mono is to follow a similar nomenclature (just for the kicks), we have to talk about Mono's upcoming 'monopolization' and 'monarchy' in the next generation of the Unix programming land. Your see, if everything goes well, in 2 to 3 years most new Gnome user/desktop applications will be written --hopefully-- in Mono and C#. Update: Miguel deIcaza replies.

That will be a sad day in my book. I really hope someone either stops this, fork gnome, or try make a new free desktop.
Do we really need all that bloat ?
And how are e.g. RedHat coping with that ? They won't even include mono in Fedora cause there are possible patent issues.
