Even then, I'm not happy with standards controlled by Microsoft.

If the standards can get hijacked for the community at large, that's another thing.

Right now, at BEST, Mono/.NET could go as far as Java has. But unless the underlying framework is truly free, it will always be at a huge disadvantage.

(Java could well have taken over from C++ by now if the darn thing had just been actually free, instead of only downloadable for zero cost.)
