Why should we *jump* to port some thing to C# which is released by M$ to
compete with java, the same way the fsckers tried to use MSN to bump the
internet off (I hope you all haven't forgotten that, think how great it
would been no smtp, no pop3 nothing but microsoft proprietary formats)

IMHO we should let C# just die a natural death (highly probable) rather
than do anything ourselves. M$ released C#, let them handle the problems
and issues with C#.

Nothing against you Gautier personally, But I think that C# is just
another pathetic attempt by M$ to gain a monopoly, so why should we whose
pet hobby is to bash M$, support them?

Best Wishes,
Grendel
