I would add therefore that the core functionality is 100%
cross-platform: threading, sockets, file manipulation and such, then
there is the wicked System.Windows.Forms namespace which is
Windows-specific but it *might* be cross-platform AFAIK. Of course if
you talk about handling the start menu or the whole bar, or whatever may
be Windows-specific, then Mono can even be 100% cross-platform, but
maybe the app isn't, as Jeff said :)
