Excellent. Assuming everything runs, that is. Right now, there's an interesting dilemma: most grid toolkits and environments are designed to run on various flavors of Unix, whereas the majority of systems with untapped potential are running Windows. (This is an assumption, not a fact.)
This also means that the majority of grid developers are running Unix machines and not Windows, and are not in a position to evaluate and contribute to Alchemi, since it does not run on their platform. While the adoption of Mono will probably be slow (due to a distrust to use anything associated in any way with Microsoft), it will come. (sidenote: I personally think that real potential of grid computing will not be using untapped resources of powerful server systems, but rather utilizing the large installed base of less-powerful business desktop/laptop systems, which, incidentally, tend to be running Windows.) So yes, that is excellent news. Jonathan Mitchem [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 1/13/06, metasharp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > lately I was checking the current status of Mono.
