Right. I've always been using Microsoft systems and assume that most others
do. The Net.Framework will probably become available for Linux too, and
probably is working on other systems already - it's not my strong side.
I've been told, that it even needs an ms-browser. Still, that leaves a lot
of possible users.

On a code level, it's a windows.form containing all code - nothing is
stashed away in a separate dll/lib.

No, but I guess that it could just as well have been. The process of making
it is much the same as doing Java. It's written in VisualBasicNet. If you
install a runtime and an SDK (software developement kid), accessible online,
you get access to C++, C#, VB .. and somewhere there is support for Java
too.
