    Also C# (or should I say the .net framework) is now cross platform, which wasn’t really the case when I first saw this meme.

    This joke made sense when instead of .net you could only use Mono with C# on other platforms, which wasn’t very good at the time.

      Yes, especially when you’re running linux, and the project you started on windows that uses serial ports suddenly doesn’t work any more and you wonder why.

      Hint: The events for serial data received didn’t fire under mono, for reasons.

      Mostly right. Microsoft showed off how .NET 1.0 worked on FreeBSD but it was absolutely pointless since they didn’t provide commercial licenses to run it on anything else but Windows until .NET Core.
