Hey,

 

            I am very excited about this excellent effort to port the
.NET Framework, however something is puzzling me. Why are there extra
things in the implementation? It seems to be a self defeating mechanism.
Let's say I write a program on a Linux machine using your framework and
it runs perfectly. I think attempt to run it on a Windows machine and oh
crap, I made use of a mono-only feature! I believe the System hierarchy
should remain unmodified by your implementation to guarantee perfect
cross-platform operation.

 

Maybe I am missing something.Please fill me in

 

Thank you,

Brandon Bloom
