@Dan, Presumably the same thing most embedded languages do (see Lua and Python examples) and handle scripting. In the case of The Sims I can see it as a neato way to handle objects in the game as, well, Objects.

Any idea what the embedded mono actually does yet?

@Michael B. Trausch, You can't fix idiots. I prefer to just laugh at them.

@directhex, yes, but it takes a human being who has a brain to see through Roy S.’s (IMHO very plainly transparent) words. Roy’s little cult of ignorance has grown.

Every time I ask someone who attacks Mono on the basis of “Well, it came from MS”, I ask them to back their words with evidence, and they never are able to do so. For example, there’s the whole patent claim. That’s fine and dandy, but at least in the US, I can’t find any valid, granted patents on the CLR… and neither can the people who appear to claim it.

In any event, it’s only self-evident if you’re not a moron… and most of the people on the Internet, well, are. :-/

@Stifu, Oh, I DO. That's why I let them through - because they're evidence of the attacks me on a regular basis. The very best ammunition against nuts is their own nuttiness.

Gotta love unrelated FUD trackbacks.

[...] Sometimes it’s Novell employees and some of those who are responsible (not Novell employees) are writing about proprietary computer games (yes, Windows) at the moment. Those very same people are also pushing hard to put Novell’s own Banshee inside Ubuntu, by [...]

So much for the anti-Mono trolls saying no one wants Mono – I bet Sims3 alone puts more Mono users (and who are willing to pay MONEY!) on the planet than people who even subscribe to the anti-Novell zealotry.
