.Net For Linux

I've been waiting for this time for the release of MonoDevelop on Windows. MonoDevelop has been stable for a while now in the Linux OS.

For visitors not familiar with MonoDevelop, it is an IDE for developing desktop and web application using C#, VB.Net and other programming language. It runs on top of its own .Net opensource framework called Mono. Check this link for the IDE - http://www.monodevelop.com and the framework here - http://www.mono-project.com.

This is good news for us Microsoft .Net Developers since we are accustomed to our preferred language in .Net and we don't have to start from scratch when we migrate our software development skills in Linux or Mac since we already have Mono and MonoDevelop on our side. This is backed by a company called Novell, the company behind Suse Linux.
