Last Thursday OSNews had the opportunity to meet Miguel de Icaza, founder of Gnome, Ximian and among other things leader of the much discussed, Mono project. Miguel is a talented and versatile developer but he is also a very intelligent businessman able to understand the industry on many different levels. Talking to Miguel guarantees that you are very quickly taken away by his enthusiasm and optimism and his thoughtful strategies and vision on how OSS will take over the world.

"Frankly, to posit the notion that poor people can somehow better afford Linux, when it takes more expensive hardware to run than Windows does, is spurious, fallacious illogic to say the least."
Not sure how someone can say this when XP takes up at least 3x more memory on the hard drive than most distros and most certainly does not come with lightweight window managers like Afterstep and Fluxbox for the truly resource impaired. I'm temporarily using a Celeron 433mhz, 128mb RAM, 4.3GB pc which is probably more typical a machine held from over the late nineties, and while it's going to be sluggish with whatever you put on here, you ain't gonna fit XP on this box.
