I used to have a small ad account with yahoo, and was advised that I'd
have to sign up with Bing to continue having ads served due to their
ad-sharing agreement. I looked into that, and they wanted me to install
Moonlight which requires Mono. I decided to pass, after doing some
research on Moonlight. 

All of that as background for my question, I thought I read somewhere
during my research that Go-oo might tie into Mono? Do you know whether
that's the case or not? If it does, I can guarantee you that Redhat
wouldn't go there. (no pun intended... haha)
