> he's suspicious of Mono

Out of context. He's actually suspicious of Microsoft's cross-platform story and proprietary lock-in. He thinks Mono can be torpedoed by MS' legal team. And that is not news; even Miguel de Icaza has said that Mono can be seen as a test of MS willingness to play fair, and at the worst case will expose MS evil once more while giving free software a nice language.
