=== .NET and Mono === The software currently ~~(this is early 2020)~~ called .NET was originally for all operating systems, but Microsoft then decided to restrict it to just Windows and that was the position while MX was being developed and is still true in early 2020 when this article was rewritten, mostly to encourage greater dominance by Microsoft software and hardware. Mono was then born based on .NET to work with all operating systems, Mono subsequently changed independently from .NET (although Microsoft still has a leading role). '''Perhaps confusingly, in November 2020, there will be change around of names, and the multi-operating system .NET Core product will take over the .NET name as version 5. I don't pretend to understand the technical details, but the impression I get is that the new .NET in November will be similar to Mono, so apps designed for that will still work, but apps using .NET to make code designed for windows will stop working'''. Since the Cumulus code is currently coded to behave slightly differently using .NET and using MONO, I guess it is possible old versions of MX might stop working when the new .NET is installed via Windows Update. === Requirements for running on Windows ===
