 ## Understanding the Relationship between .NET Core and the .NET Framework
 
-.NET Core and the .NET Framework (for the most part) have a subset-superset relationship. .NET Core is named as "Core" since it contains the core features from the .NET Framework, for both the runtime and framework libraries. For example, .NET Core and the .NET Framework share the GC, the JIT and types such as String and List<T>. We'll continue improving these components for both .NET Core and .NET Framework.

 the cloud, and runs on Windows, Linux and Mac. It uses the .NET Core 5 runtime and framework for running on Windows. It currently uses Mono for Linux and Mac support but will move to .NET Core 5 for those platforms when they are supported.
