1. An executable (.exe) compiled on the .NET platform will not run on a MAC,
unless the person installs some .NET runtime built specifically for the MAC
(I don't know if anyone has done something like this, definitely not MS).
If it is a web application, then it doesn't matter, as the browser only
deals with HTML and javascript.
2. No, as long as it only does things that the MAC browser supports. So
probably not much, if you are going to be supporting multiple browsers.
The web app shouldn't be a problem, just figuring out the intersection of
what all the browsers you are writing for support, and utilitzing only those
features that they all support.
As for window apps, you are going to have a much bigger problem. Like I
said, I don't know if anyone has written a .NET runtime or not. Even if they
have, I am not sure how reliable it would be, since it is probably more like
an open source project.

I have a 2 part question that deals with asp.net and vb.net
1. will a vb.net application run on a Mac?
2. Does a specail web browser need to be installed on a Mac to view a
asp.net web application?
I have to create a .NET winform and asp.net application that will be used
and viewed from a Mac.
thx
