He will now be one step closer to his dream job at Redmond. I've been wary of him every since he stated a few years ago that he wanted Gnome to be based on .NET : http://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/02/01/gnome_to_be_based/ Since then, its been one thing (Moonlight), after another (Mono) and plenty of cheering for exotrion (novell/microsoft deal which marginalizes the rest of us). The ironic part is that he basically started Gnome because KDE's QT wasnt totally free back then but he foudn that unacceptable and managed to divide the community while now he is on the other side of the same debate but refuses to see it. We all become our fathers eventually and rail about those kids with their loud music. Its nice to see that Codeplex has brought on board, Novell VP Miguel de Icaza.
