Ahh, Microsoft's notYet .NET platform, making issues like deploying software on all extant Linux distributions look trivial in comparison. How the hell can one platform have so many diverse and malfunctioning components?![[Wiki]](/adbanners/lookingglass.png){kind=small}

Yeah, the particular situation we've got is a Windows Forms .NET app with some mixed unmanaged code that runs fine on 5 machines here in this office, but when it gets out in the field we're seeing several different crashes on various Windows machines.
I thought the advantage of a monolithic OS vendor was that you'd be able to write once and run on its hardware abstraction layer on any machine it deployed on... Choke.

I have a friend who's had great luck with Mono for deploying .NET stuff on linux, but from I've seen in regards to fellow linux weenies' opinions, it just looks like a giant security bypass to allow dangerous code to run on your linux machine with little protection.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
