What you all say...

[Raphael Bosshard <whistler bluewin ch>]

I sum it up:

The argument is the JVM vs. the Mono runtime

Java:
   - was not designed to run other languages than Java
   - Patents may be a danger.
   - widly accepted

Mono:
   - Some people (especialy Sun) will not like the idea of Microsoft 
technology playing an important role in their desktop)
   - multiple languages, one bytecode
   - Patents may be a danger.
   - License _may_ not be GPL compliant

From a technical point of view these two options are mostly aquivalent. 
So to be honest; it's a only a matter of ideologies?
