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.

i didn't say faster i did say not slugish run well when few programs open ,while xp work well on that computer after clean install when u add few needed program im client antivirues browser (other then the crap preloaded ie) and a office suite the system become very slugish to the point that is not usable that it's not the case on unix desktop but as i said before linux lack of desktop oriented distro , and it will be right to say that fedora 1 is very slugish on this computer but even slax (live cd) run well there ,and by that i mean i don't care if program taken 5 or 10 seconds to start the important thing is that after loaded program will work well and here we benefit from much better scheduler and memory menagment of linux (and same goes for freebsd).
