    I think mono a pretty good approach to make .NET really system-independent,
    but it is too limited so far (speaking ofwindows.forms-applications). So
    IMHO: absolutely _no_ chance for a real-world .NET-Application to run on a
    Mac. Even if you get it to run (with several additional software), try to
    deploy it ...
