story on .net apps running on linux, osX, etc

Steven, don't know if you heard of this and what this could mean for xlobby, but I thought you'd be interested

Could be cool for some linux embedded type touch screen devices if they could run the xlobby client

interesting, still to early to tell if I can port it over. There are also a couple of things I use that are only available in windows...but we will see once they get something worth looking at.

Yeah I figured it would still equal a lot of work, but that would be cool if we could but some reallllly slim linux kernel on a cheap older tablet type pc, so it could just boot up really fast then load the xlobby client. Something to watch how it develops at least

yah if they do a complete port of all the functions and libraries C# has then it will be an easy port to do actually. But I just cant see them doing it....because c# is a such a complex high level language but we can hope.
