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've installed Mono and am going to test it against dotGNU. So far I've been able to compile with Mono but I haven't got the binfmt set up to recognize dotNET *.exe files as executables.
As I see it, Microsoft is in a cleft stick here - it can decide to jump on the Mono and dotGNU implementations - and alienate more people than they wish to; or they can carry on permitting it - and lose control of it to the community, which historically they have shown a great disliking for.
