Re: Building Windows fat clients

I haven't used it in a year or so, although I've heard that it only
keeps getting better / more mature / more complete.

According to their "Supported Platforms" page (
http://www.mono-project.com/Supported_Platforms ), their current list of
supported OS's is:

    * Linux
    * Mac OS X
    * Sun Solaris
    * BSD - OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD
    * Microsoft Windows

One of these days I'm hoping to have some time to get back to using it
(instead of just using Java for cross-platform work).
