Great news, but I think people need to realize this is really just Microsoft pledging to merge and support what Mono has already been doing. You won't magically be able to take a WPF app and run it on your Mac. You will however be able to write a server app or maybe simple command line tool that runs on Mac & Linux. It's great news to see Microsoft acknowledging and supporting Mono, but there isn't a magic switch that will flip and everything suddenly works on every platform.
- alanh 12y agoRight. And that is a good thing. Java has shown us that no one really wants write-once-run-everywhere GUI software, as it never feels "right" or at-home on guest platforms
- MrBra 12y agoSo because Java shown that then it is a good thing to try for? Does Java represent to you a sort of a unbeatable limit that no one could possibly pass? Have you ever seen a JavaFX app?
