“…there was little to no mention of .NET technology in the
Windows 8 hoopla, and quite a few Windows developers are more than
a little angry about the whole thing. Microsoft’s response has been
for everyone to wait and see what happens at the SHARE conference
in September. As you might imagine, that has done little to mollify
most observers…

“So now, there’s a whole lot of .NET developers out there who
are wondering what they are going to do with all their experience.
If I were a smart aleck, I would suggest they come to the Dark Side
of Linux and work on Mono (and yes, we also have cookies).”
