I guess you're really not getting my point. I was actually trying to
let you work that one out by comparing it to the codecs. Wine is not
in the default install, like the codecs, so it is *not* included in
Ubuntu. I'm *not* against Wine, and I'm *not* against Mono. I'm *not*
part of boycotnovell, and I'm *not* Mark Fink.

I *am* however, a lurker on the wine-devel mailinglist, and I
sometimes participate in discussions. I mess with Wine regularly to
try and get some games working. I sometimes contribute to the Wine
AppDB. I've filed bugs for Wine.

I haven't used Mono for anything yet, but I'm sure it will one day be
useful to me in Wine to run some .NET apps.

So please don't write me off as a useless troll when I have concerns
with any of these Windows 'emulators' being part of the default
install.
