Run Windows Store .Net app on Linux/Mono

Does Moto support to run Windows Store app? If so, is there a document for how to deploy Windows store app on Mono? Thanks.

BTW, for Moto, I mean => http://www.mono-project.com/, if there are other recommendation for .Net simulator on Linux which supports running Windows Store app, it will be great.

thanks in advance, Lin

Windows Store apps are running on Windows Runtime (shipped with Windows 8), not .NET Framework. Therefore, to port them to other OS, there must be an implementation of the Windows Runtime.

Mono is merely an open source implementation of the .NET Framework, so you cannot run Windows Store apps on Mono.

You might get a better view of Windows Runtime and .NET Framework from this thread,
