Well, Miguel has been saying stuff like this for a while now. Some of
the stuff he says is pretty much spot on, some of it I disagree with. I
was saddened to see Mono go MIT - I think it's possibily too important,
but then, there is dotGnu as a backup plan I suppose. 

He does make some good points which most people wouldn't agree with -
NT's security model, the design of the .NET architecture - but perhaps
some of the moves they are making are more influenced by the need for
Ximian to make money than Free software motives. Not that there's
necessarily anything wrong with that, just different priorities I guess.

Cheers,

Alex.
