Not exactly.
The .NET CLR is bound to MS Windows, but producing a .NET assembly
(if done according to the ECMA standard) leaves you free to use any
CLR (Common Language Runtime), including .NET and Mono.
Mono is Ximian's implementation, now under Novell's wing, and it
supports Mac OS X, among other environments.
There may well be more CLR implementations over time.
The CLR is similar to the JVM/JRE, in many ways.

I don't have any real apples-to-apples comparison testing for you, but
from what I've seen, each environment has its strengths and weaknesses.
Neither is a panacea.
Be seeing you,
