Mono project founder Miguel de Icaza claims that Microsoft prevented the open source project from holding a meeting at the company's Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles. Microsoft states on its conference Web site that its 'Birds of a Feather' sessions are proposed and voted on by the community. But the Mono BOF was never listed for voting and therefore received no votes, despite the submission being confirmed, according to De Icaza's blog.

We dont need that asp crap! (we have ruby on rails!)
We don't need that .Net crap, we have *Insert good alternative programming tool here*.
Bill Gate's worst nightmare is a .Net implementation that allows third party windows apps to run on Linux so lets do it.
Have you read about why running Windows apps on Linux is not feasible in the slightest, and will continue to be even less so?
We dont need to use it in GNOME at all but we should have it as part of WINE so we can scare the living shit out of Bill Gates.
And how long do you think Wine's been around? It still can't run Windows apps reliably, and even as a commercial Codeweavers project, it can still only run a select few apps.
