Visual Studio and Visual C++ free

[RogerDavis]

If I use the above to write apps, will they run directly in Ubuntu and / or other Linux flavors without extra support or installations, or does it require other software on every system it is to run on? Is there someplace where I can read these things?

using the said ppa should allow direct use as i understand it; not tested yet myself at time http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...ke-0.7-VS-Code

Microsoft recently announce the release of a Linux version of visual Studio but as I understand things it is not the full version of Visual Studio. Here is a thread of some people installing it. This special version has already been added to Ubuntu Make

But, really the place to discuss programming matters is in the programming section of the forum. This section is for discussion and testing of the next version of Ubuntu under development.
