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.

I absolutely agree with people worried about licences problems. I'm a java developer, and I love programming in Java. I've always been disappointed by the very low interest of sun in integrating java in linux environment, and I try to support as much as I can the free alternatives to the sun java virtual machine, mainly the gcj project, which works already quite well and allows me compile even to native code. Mono would be a great solutions if there wouldn't be the risk of patents controlled by microsoft: I can't really start to develop anithing in mono if I'm afraid that a new SCO case is going to appear, and I really hope, unless this problem is definitively disappeared, that mono becoms dominant.
Best regards
