    Re: .NET Run on any platform?

    A .NET application requires the .NET Framework in order to run. That means it is compatible with any platform that supports the .NET Framework, which basically means Windows. There is an open-source .NET clone for Linux called Mono. It isn't 100% compatible, but close. I've never used it so I don't know a great deal, like whether apps compiled using Visual Studio will run on it. There are also C# compilers for many paltforms apparently, although I'm not sure what they copile to. It may be that they produc native code for the target platform rather than MSIL.

    But there are certain OS' to stay away from when trying to install the framework on. Like 95/98 or ME. From what I hear they are a bit troublesome but not impossible to install it to.

    They're OSes to avoid anyway, aren't they?

    I think Windows ME is the worst OS ever! Give me DOS 6.22 anyday over Windows ME.

    It's a good thing you didn't mention my name on that one. I was a user of that OS, till I accidently killed off my computer trying to uninstall IE. That's me and my FX addictions for ya.

    When WinME came out, I installed it, then next day I went back to NT4 WinME is the worst OS ever... I think it was made by high school programming students

    Re: .NET Run on any platform?

    I got into an arguement with my ISP once because they didn't have windows 2000 listed on their spec sheet. I asked them if I should pencil it in and they told me "Windows ME and Windows 2000 are the same thing."

    I thought I was going to be sick.
