Well, according to the hype, it is platform independent and anyone can implement it on any platform. The Mono project (http://www.go-mono.com/) claims to do it for Linux, Unix and Windows (http://www.go-mono.com/faq.html#platforms). Of course, they will always be lagging Microsoft and probably many things will never work right, or the same as they do with Visual Studio. Also, from what I've seen so far, many "real" .net projects resort to a lot of interop with COM and Windows DLLs for API calls; none of that stuff would work on another platform. As far as the Mac goes, I haven't heard of anything.
For now, if you want platform independence, stick with Java or Python.
