Mono in my opinion is not a new technology, It's just a bad copy of .NET.
That will make .NET the new technology.

Totally agree on that.


Besides... According to Wikipedia's information (Which I don't
tend to rely much on it) only Novell's customers are the only
ones that Microsoft agreed that won't be suing around for
using Mono/.NET.

I don't know if KDE developers using Mono or that
implement it in KDevelop would be covered as 'Novel Users'
