The mono project is beginning to pay dividends. I recently switch from
Rhythembox //to Banshee, which is written in Mono/C#. It's a really
nice multimedia player that runs on most flavours of Linux, but as the
Banshee FAQ state, porting Banshee to Windows .NET is no trivial task.
Also, in order to install Banshee on my Fedora 10 desktop, I had to
download and install a boatload of Mono stuff on which Banshee depends;
although, it only involved selecting Banshee from the Fedora "Add/Remove
Software" GUI.
#---------------------------
Does Banshee run on Windows or OS X?
Starting with Banshee 1.4, packages are available for OS X. See the
download page <http://banshee-project.org/download> for details.
There has been substantial work done to make Banshee run on Windows
but there has not been a release of this work yet. We expect to
release official packages for Windows soon.
#----------------------------
It would be so much easier for everyone if Microsoft simply supported
.NET across all OS(s).
