Making a .NET program portable

[nexsilly]

Hi, folks,

I would like to write a .NET program that will run on Windows XP and
Vista, and also on the Mac and Linux versions of .NET. I do not mind
if it runs better on Windows but it must be usable on all four
platforms. What technologies can I use? Can I use forms? Can I use
WPF? Can I use a library to give me a Ribbon interface (with respect
to both technical limits and the licensing rules for the O2007
interface?)

Thanks for your help!

Hello ne******@googlemail.com,

standard .NET FW from MS is not portable, because MS see no reasons to support
other platfroms

But there are some volunteers who develop portable versions
what u can do is .NET FW like Rotor or Mono (google to find their sites)
and develop upon them
but take into account that these FW are two steps behind the standard FW
