"The change is being made to C# after nearly 2 years of
working with the language in a cross-platform setting which
involved the use of both Red Hat Linux and Windows 2003/2008
servers. The ability to use a single development environment (in my
case, Visual Studio 2008) and produce executables that will execute
in unmodified form on both Linux and Windows has seriously put the
"R" in RAD programming. I am still actively involved in projects
that require the development of cross-platform utilities and am
already paying for all of the necessary licenses to provide my
company with a full array of software and hardware to develop
applications that work in a mixed server OS
environment."
