Thanks for the explanation Rodrigo!
Do you remember, did it break things in Mono, or applications?
At this time this makes it necessary to implement work-arounds in code
that is shared between .NET/Mono and Silverlight.
I'm curious, what is everyone's favourite kludge to detect OS X on Mono?
The reason I'm asking is that my code wants to check /Volumes on OS X
and other locations on Windows and Linux.
