Re: OT: Virtual PC 7 / Visual Studio 2003



When I think ".Net on the Mac", I think of this: http://www.mono- project.com/
Not sure if it's related, never touched it, but it looks like it's being very actively developed.

Yeah...Microsoft's Rotor is hardly a "version of .NET" -- it's a cut-down version that's basically the CLR and not much more, and I'm not sure it runs on Tiger. You can't really do interesting application development with it. (And that's not me talking from an Apple perspective -- I worked on Rotor.)


If you want to develop .NET applications across multiple platforms, Mono's your best choice.

While the CLR from Mono is a real speed daemon compared to SSCLI, the error messages from the Mono C# compiler are - erm - kindof "YACC: you did something wrong. It might be in the first third of the source. Fix it and compile again". The SSCLI compiler provides far more useful messages.
