I wonder if Microsoft is providing the "big challenge" to porting the
same GUI to linux. The world really doesn't need yet another Java
language. Gosling is a Genius, I studied his X11 News Server enough
to know first hand. Microsoft lost in court with their violating the
Java standards and C sharp seems to be just another stratagy to their
bizarre attempt to world domination (Like the SCO mess).
Runtime dynamic bytecode languages -- Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, ... --
do seem to be all the rage.
As DaveM noted, though, C# is fully supported under Linux.
Or maybe they could go for Gtk+, which has successfully been used to
maintain complex GUIs apps on both Windows and Linux. GIMP is the most
notable example, but use of Gtk+, GLib, and mingw has meant that you can
build Linux-ish apps on Windows without nasty porting layers like Cygwin.
