Not to my knowledge. All the Windows.Forms display stuff is using Wine. Have you ever tried to run wine on non X86 system? it doesn't run.. > Anyhow, I was thinking about giving lecture on the subject, on .NET on Mono > and how it can eventually give Linux yet another advantage over Windows. > Specifically in the "Develop in Windows, Deploy in Linux" approach.

Evil or not: 1. Microsoft has been granted several patents about their .Net - so Microsoft can easily kill (if they want) the entire mono project. 2. They have hidden quite a lot of stuff - so it's like Wine - some parts are documented well, some poorly documented, and some - are not documented (or it's not available for the public). 3. It's still X86 centered - see the wine remark..
