He was correct for the vision. Currently, it is not on all platforms, however.

1. For Windows, of course, you have the .NET Framework download from
Microsoft.

2. For Windows and FreeBSD there is a shared source CLI called rotor, which
can also be downloaded from Microsoft and compiled. This version is
theoretically possible to run on Mac, which is BSD based, although I know of
no-one who has gone through the motions. I would not run this on Windows
myself, unless you want to compile your own .NET.

3. For Linux and, apparently, Mac, there is DotGnu (http://www.dotgnu.org/).
You can see the Mac screenshots on this site, along with status on the
libraries.

4. Also for Linux is the Mono project (http://www.mono-project.com/). Mono
is already working on the 2.0 implementation of the .NET Framework.
