I would just accept it, to be honest. I know what you mean about being a bit like Hungarian notation (or at least abuse of the same) but I think it gives sufficient value to be worth doing in this case.

With dependency injection being in vogue, often I find I end up with an interface and a single production implementation. It's handy to make them easily distinguishable just with the I prefix.

One little data point: I work with both Java and C# a fair amount, and I regularly find myself having to check which types in Java are actually interfaces, particularly around the collection framework. .NET just makes this simple. Maybe it doesn't bother other people, but it bothers me.

+1 for IFoo from me.
