Seems like it can be done - there was a few links, like http://www.codeweavers.com/, that offers some hope - my 5

Never tried but information is very interesting. My 5.
Taking into account you can use Mono and build Windows applications for Windows .NET, they will run on Linux without recompilation... One can develop, say, Forms applications (which are evil, of course, but...), as MonoDevelop does not have Designer for Forms...

I think you would be much better off with MonoDevelop, see http://en.wiyipedia.org/wiki/MonoDevelop[^].

Oh, I know! Thank you! By working in US I developed stable hatred to abbreviations... Who knows what I'm talking about will understand...
