Time to look forward
..MS has acknowledged their monopoly depends on their proprietary API and the barriers this creates for competition. First it was Win32, next will be .NET (and the rest of the "security" for Longhorn)...

Microsoft do a good job for developers.
These include those doing 3rd party apps or don't you think Mozilla does a good job on Windows?

.. MS will move to kill the clone with its pathetic IP stash..

Mono, based on the C# standard, is a clean room development.
If MS try an IP challenge it might very well backfire and finally open up the patent process [for software] to change.
