Miguel's PDC Notes are
available here. I admire and respect the MONO guys, but I cannot think that it would be somewhat disheartening to see all this new stuff coming out, and knowing that you're going to have to try and re-implement it all with 1/10th of the developers or less (I'm only guessing at the numbers here). After reading a couple of posts a while ago on Monologue about porting DasBlog to MONO I've started to try to be more "MONO-aware", like using System.IO.DirectorySeparatorChar instead of hard-coding "\", which will hopefully help down the track if I ever try to port anything. Maybe I should actually TRY to port something to try and find out what the "gotchas" are.
