●● From “Microsoft Religion” to “Mono Religion”

Posted in GNU/Linux, Microsoft, Mono at 11:33 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

If Mono is a religion, does it make us infidels?

They just won’t listen

LAST YEAR we mentioned Microsoft's "Jihad" talk (the term it uses a lot internally, even Bill Gates). The Microsoft ecosystem is said to be working very closely together and some call it "the Microsoft movement" (a term which is usually used in private conversations). Others even call it a/the “Microsoft religion”, so the following new post hit a certain nerve.

> Is Mono a religion or a technology?I blogged a response to an attack on Gnote yesterday, essentially reitterating my views that Mono is not a safe technology when building Free Software.Now, I did expect many to disagree strongly with me, and I’m fine with that. What I’m not fine with is the continued personal attacks of the Mono camp against all that oppose it, including myself, the Gnote developers and someone we all owe a lot to, Richard Stallman.

It ought to be added that at least one person in the Mono team is on Microsoft’s payroll. █
