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.
