Mono Rumours

I suggest that the rumours of Mono's demise are not true.

Miguel de Icaza is a serial tweeter and nothing from him about this.

Lack of ADO Support in Silverlight

Another barrier to utilising Silverlight to replace LOB WinForms applications is its lack fo support for ADO.Net DataSet. Most software houses have invested much time and money developing middle tier data services layers utilising ADO.Net (just as Microsoft recommended), but now the 'new breed' of MS developers - the 'script kiddies' who have developed Silverlight, do not understand enterprise LOB apps so think a new paradigm is called for - hence RIA Data Services are supposed to replace ADO.Net - Not!
