Novell and Ximian 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.

Rayner, although I usually agree with you, I believe this hypothesis is unrealistic. It would mean actively favouring a monopoly, which the government cannot do so explicitely. If it did, it would be like declaring war to the rest of the world :-)
