> I guess a lot depends on how much developers embrace .NET; .NET apps are compiled to CLR bytecode which presumably could run on ARM devices just as easily as on Intel. The only problem I think would be with mixed assemblies, those containing both native and managed code, which can exist for PC applications. XNA games for example run on PowerPC (Xbox 360) and ARM (Zune/WP7) but their development is much more constrained than PC applications.

Likewise, iOS applications are far more constrained than OSX applications.

True, we've had to put porting our .NET app to Mono (for Mac/Linux support) on hold because of that -- the grid component we were using had a load of native code under the .NET layer.
