Mike Harsh, a Microsoft developer, posted the above quote on his MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) blog. He is talking about WPF/E, a “cross-platform, cross-browser web technology that supports a subset of WPF XAML.” The big quote from the post is:

“The WPF/E package also contains a small, cross platform subset of the CLR and .NET Framework that can run C# or VB.NET code. Yes, we are bringing C# programming to the Mac. “

This is very big news for the Mac programming community. Part of the promise of a technology like .Net, the Microsoft CLR, and Apple’s Cocoa is the portability factor of the code; if Microsoft really brings this to the Mac (and other platforms?) this could eventually mean some Windows-only apps easily ported to the Mac.
