Microsoft MVP Miguel de Icaza has this new update about Mono, but frankly, it would be better if he and his team just let the project rest in its deathbed, which following layoffs at Novell is where the project really belongs. Due to lack of time* I’ve done some quick videos where I explain without preparation why Mono is a bad idea and a dangerous project that should not be supported (the wiki page on Mono has better explanations which took more time to write). █
