And lastly: * It helps us ensure that Mono remains cross platform by ensuring that the we always make architectural decisions that are sound cross-platform wise. Maintaining a Windows version has helped towards this goal and is part of what makes Mono easy to port. best wishes, Miguel There are some reasons to run Mono on Windows, here are some of the use cases:
