I'm currently a .NET developer, and I want to test my applications with mono to make sure for cross-platform compatibility, but don't want to give up the offical .NET implementation. Can I install it side-by-side on my main development PC, or do I have to use a virtual Xp environment with no .NET?
I am using Vista.
You can install Mono side-to-side with any .NET Framework version.
There is no interference between two of them.
I'm running Server 08 (Vista kernel) and was able to successfully install Mono, write an app using a Mono project and VB project and uninstall Mono without any issues. I had to test some ideas out and that was the easiest way to compare the two projects.
