Summary: Monsieur de Icaza and his followers help ensure that .NET does not go away just yet
IN SOME ways, Microsoft is abandoning .NET, which not only pisses off many developers but also causes many other problems.
It was only months ago that Attachmate threw Mono out to the street. There is not much going on at Attachmate (the former vice president at Attachmate Corporation
is seen moving now) and after it had laid off Mono developers it
hardly was willing to give some so-called 'IP' (
eventually it did), which does not mean that it's okay because
Microsoft is the party to approach. The remnants of the Mono team were afloat in
Xamarin, which hardly does anything based on the news, with the
following exception:
The MonoDevelop team has released version 2.8 of its open source IDE (integrated development environment) for programming in C# and other .NET languages. Other than changes to the source code editor and new functions for project management, MonoDevelop 2.8 mainly provides changes for Mac developers.
Mac, eh? What about GNU/Linux? Well, Mono was never about free platforms,
it was about Microsoft .NET.

Not from there, certainly. My guess: you made it up.
