They haven't done this to Mono yet, as far as I know. They're even helping Mono with Moonlight.
I'm not a Microsoft fan, but you know, it's *possible* they're not as evil as they used to be.

What if you saw a car humping a camel while Lindsay Lohan mud-wrestled Oprah Winfrey in the back seat? Would that be a good car analogy for this occurance?
