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.

So, if there are so many linux users out there strongly against the inclusion of any mono libraries in the gnome desktop, or by applications based on gtk#, what happens when Ximian move Evolution to a mono codebase? Will it take an application of that magnitude to encourage the "resistance" to move to a mono derived Gnome / inclusion of mono libs in abother DE?
