.NET is the framework we’re using to run Shockvoice. You can download Microsoft’s .NET Framework here. It is absolutely necessary to install this to run Shockvoice. Mono is a free implementation of the .NET Framework which was originally intended to make .NET applications available on Linux/Unix and other platforms, but which is also available for Windows. As a rule of thumb, you should always use the Microsoft .NET framework when you’re on Windows, even if you don’t like Microsoft, because it’s alot more complete than Mono and contains everything that is needed to run the Shockvoice Client. Mono is currently in development and can only run the Server, so install this, when you want to run the Shockvoice Server on Linux.
