As in there is a dependency on both the platform, Windows, and the framework, .Net. Windows without the .Net framework installed will not run this, and .Net is not automatically installed on Windows. And .Net on another platform, such as Mono on Linux, is questionable.It is no different from saying Windows Perl or UNIX/Linux Perl to indicate a similar platform & framework/interpreter dependency coupling. Perl exists for both Windows and UNIX/Linux but just because something is written in Perl and runs on one platform doesn't mean it will run on the other as there are platform specific calls that can be used. That's even more the case with .Net since Microsoft really only designed it for Windows and efforts like Mono occur after the fact.Specifically in this case the author claims Windows XP/Vista/7 with .Net 4.0 is required. Though I suspect it would also run on server versions of Windows of equivalent generations, such as Windows 2008. But if you're running one of those you probably know that already.
