The amount of effort required to get an existing Winforms app running on Mono can vary greatly. Although many small apps will run on Mono unmodified, many apps will require some work on the developer's part to run smoothly on Mono. This guide will attempt to port a non-trivial open source application to document several of the issues a developer may run into while porting their app to Mono.

It always amazes me at how limited our knowledge is in the computer world. Geeks can be a very conservative lot and tend to have very limited exposure to the variety of tools and developments kits out there. I think that if you use MFC or raw Win API then you have a lot of work on your plate, however, just like linux, there are other solutions, such a Delphi. I presume you're familar with Delphi.
