This is confusing.  Clearly mono is all about interoperability.  The answer
to both should be, yes.  Or at least it should be simple for a developer
to create a Linux, Mac, and Windows version of a given piece of software
written in .NET / mono.

An interesting thing to note is that some open source / Linux fanatics
HATE mono and regard it as a Microsoft "trojan horse."  See

Which brings up two questions:

1) if a program is written in mono on Linux will it run under .NET on Windows?

2) if a program is written in .NET on Windows will it run under mono on Linux?

I suspect the answer to both questions is "it depends".

FWIW

Mono is a cross platform, open source .NET development framework.

See

http://www.mono-project.com

Banshee, F-Spot, and Tomboy are written in mono.

It's not just a wii remote:

A coworker made one of these, but the smartboard-like software runs
using .NET.  Does anyone know if there is similar software for Linux?
Or can .NET software run on Linux?  I've googled a bit, but haven't
come up with a firm answer, yet.
