Two pieces: • The runtime has been updated to contain many missing features (as part of our ongoing work using Moma, the Mono Migration Analyzer). This means that applications compiled on Windows would run on Mono. • Having a VB compiler is essential for ASP.NET support. Although binaries compiled with Microsoft’s VB.NET compiler would run unmodified on Linux, it was not previously possible to use VB code in ASP.NET applications. Unlike other VB-based applications which can be pre-compiled in a Windows environment, ASP.NET has to be able to compile VB code found in ASPX files at runtime.
