Looking at the mono project and actually trying to use it in some
productive manner has showed me that this is far off. Just trying to
get it working along with GDK and Mono-develop on a fedora Core 6
system was an exercise in futility. While I can understand what
drives the open source community I honestly can't understand what
keeps it going when stuff is that hard. I can install VS.NET 2005 and
be developing in an hour. Hello world in Mono-develop never came to
life. But, I digress and that is another rant for another message
area.

Hello world? I've got much more complex stuff than that running. But, and
this is a big but, I don't develop in Linux. I develop in VS2005 and
every now and then copy my binaries over to Suse Linux running in a VMWare
machine to see if they work under Mono. The only problems I've seen so
far are with some Windows Form components, and that's getting more and
more complete all the time.

I have tons of advanced stuff running on Windows too :)

You know I never tried to do that. All that time and I have never tried just
writing on windows and running on Linux :)

Are they really better at the Windows forms stuff? Has GDK come along that
far?

Note also I don't have a real need to write cross platform software, I
just think it's neat that you can.


I think it woul dbe neat too. Opens up all kind sof business oportinities to
me. Bu then I have to actually support it :)

This is writing enterprise software for work and hobby games programming
at home. The games have been more problematic than the business software.
