Fwd: [Mono-devel-list] How can Mono Existing if WinFX, Avalon, Indigio and Aero comes up with Longhorn and WinXP?

[falkmilan at yahoo.de]

Oh what iam reading on the Mono Roadmap an go-mono


      Mono and WinFX: 2006

WinFX is the name given to the new set of libraries that makes up .NET 
in the Longhorn operating system: the existing .NET set of class 
libraries, plus the new functionality available in the OS.

WinFX adds things like storage facilities (WinFS), a new versatile 
communications stack (Indigo) and a new eye-candy packed GUI programming 
system (Avalon).

Although WinFS, Avalon and Indigo are very exciting components, at this 
time it is too early to tell when those components will be available for 
Mono. Open source developers will very likely start work on these, but 
since they are still far from being officially released, they are not in 
the radar at this point.
