I think absolutely the same.

By the way I found much prettier solution:
string runtimeName;
switch (runtimeName = typeof(object).GetType().FullName)
{
 case "System.RuntimeType":
  runtimeName = "Microsoft .NET Framework";
  break;
 case "System.MonoType":
  runtimeName = "Mono";
  break;
 case "System.Reflection.ClrType":
  runtimeName = "DotGNU Portable.NET";
  break;
 default:
  runtimeName = string.Format("Unknown ({0})", runtimeName);
  break;
}
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Runtime: {0}", runtimeName));

It has the disadvantage that this may change in the future but a internal
type can be removed as well.
