On x86 hardware, I prefer windows xp/2003. Sorry, I love *nix, but linux
doesn't do much for me on x86, especially when x86/windows offers 100%
compatibility and killer dev tools. Frankly, there is no real reason to
host asp.net apps under apache, when my XP box does better after locking
it down. No religion here folks, just reality.




Hi Steve,

I just wanted to mention that saving many thousands of dollars is a
"real reason" for many of us.

No religion.  Just reality.

RE: [Mono-list] Java, Mono, or C++.. by HP

2004-03-18 Thread Robert Isaacs

I just want to chime in quickly here.  There is no technology in the
world today that is "unemcumbered by possible legal tangles."  If I
recall correctly, someone recently even made a patent claim on the
technology in jpeg images.

As I see it, at least we have the ECMA standards body and public
statements from Microsoft to indicate that other implementations of the
standardized .net runtime and class libraries are allowed and desired
(they even mention mono specifically).  You can search MSDN for these
statements.

Now.. as for ASP.Net and WinForms...  There are no guarantees.

I have been following Mono since it began because I know how productive
this environment can be.  It is of lesser concern to me that it is
compatible with windows apps written against Microsoft's runtime.

There are more people than you would expect out there like me who 1) are
big fans of .net and 2) are big fans of linux.

I think that with some level of advocacy (which I would expect to begin
post 1.0) you will see a huge influx of volunteers working on projects
on linux...

As a Gnome user and fan I'd prefer Gnome remained fast and unencumbered
by possible legal tangles. I don't want EITHER Java nor Mono to form the
basis of Gnome.

Just my personal opinion and I'm a Mono fan as well.

Preston

RE: [Mono-list] Winforms progress and goals.

I am guessing that if you get to the point that you can run WebMatrix, you will either 
be pretty close, or already able to run SharpDevelop.

I know it requires a lot of work so sorry for my suggestion with no real
help, but it would be nice to also run SharpDevelop ;-)
