This is not the CLR
Authored by: PapaJosh on Feb 07, '03 11:00:08AM

The CLI is actually a subset of the CLR (the Common Language Runtime is Microsoft's specific implementation of the CLI). The title was a bit misleading, and I was disappointed to find that it was only the CLI. For those of you who don't know, the CLI is the basis for implementing a runtime on a system. For those with way too much time on your hands, learning about the CLI is a great academic exercise. Otherwise, it's pretty much useless to the rest of us (unless you're trying to implement a .NET runtime on OS X, then more power to ya).

don't use this... use mono

The license forbids you doing anything useful with it, besides learning it or rewriting it. Microsoft doesn't want you to go and build .NET applications on anything other than windows.

If you want to play with C# and their Common Language Interface check out the Mono Project being headed by Ximian which is a free, as in speech, reimplementation of the CLI proposed by Microsoft. They're not distributing OS X binaries yet, but if you download the source it will build and run on OS X.
