[Mono-dev] Porting Winforms Applications

[Jonathan Pobst]

Yes, you are of course right in the general sense, as the next section 
of the guide points out.  I meant that the functionality this specific 
application was going to be missing as a result of the MoMA report is 
not too severe.

Thanks for pointing out that this is not clear, I will try to clean it 
up a bit!
