Absolutely. See Mono: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_(software)[^]. As CLI is the ECMA and ISO standard, compatibility of standard libraries is supported on a very fundamental level. Supportability of all other components (such as System.Windows) is ever changing subject, see Mono Web site for fresh information http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page[^], see also a list of supported platforms.

Anyway, I run my windowed applications on Linux without recompilation, not mentioning multiple console applications.

There are emerging platforms based on managed platform entirely. First of all, this is Microsoft's Singularity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_(operating_system)[^]. Other Microsoft systems are emerging: Midori is positioned as the first post-Windows general-purpose system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midori_(operating_system)[^], see also Barrelfish: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrelfish[^].

There are also some third-party projects, such as Cosmos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmos_(operating_system)[^]) and SharpOS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SharpOS_(operating_system)[^]).

That gives me some hope that domination of dirty legacy of Windows will eventually come to end and even the whole idea of operating system will be transformed.
