I really do hope that x studio is just really the new name of the 3.1

start a 'mono planet' sort of thing to join things up and to keep

Miguel,
Thank you for your reply. This is the kind of answer I was hoping for.
I think you were right to like Mono in the names, as I do now. But I've
already made my point on that, no need to dig further.
Thanks about your clarifications on MonoMac and the MonoSpace conference.

Hello, all,
I guess most of you see the announcement of Xamarin 2.0 as good news.
However, I cannot help but feel the opposite. Let me tell you why:
