If I build a .NET application in mono on Linux, is the compiled executable directly portable to Windows 7?

I have mono installed on my Linux laptop, and I started learning how to write F# programs with basic Windows.Forms interfaces.

Will the *.exe files I compile on Linux using fsc run directly on Windows 7?

i think the answer is Yes, in that '.NET' is '.NET' is '.NET' -- there may be a few features in the latest Windows CLR that do not exist in mono, but not the other way around.

I have not tried this recently, but two years ago I built simple Windows Forms applications in Mono compiled on a Debian Linux Itanium system and these applications ran perfectly on Windows Vista running on an AMD Athlon64.

So I would say the answer is Yes.
