app.config <supportedRuntime>

Suppose I have a WinForms app that is built and compiled against .NET 2.0 using VS2008. It is my understanding that at runtime, the app will attempt to load the .NET 2.0 CLR first, (because that is what it was compiled against), regardless of anything that may be listed in any "supportedRuntime" element of the app.config file.
