There are a lot of people in the world that do cross platform development so we're improving our tooling story for them. Well, I hope we are. It's also important to us to have a good IoT development story, and any thing that can run Linux will run Linux.

I think this is great. I'd be very glad if this can be used for web development like many folks use OSX nowadays.

We'd be very interested to hear how this is working out for folks doing C/C++ web development

You DO know who you work for, right?

No matter what good you believe you're doing, it's just in the end going to be used to extinguish competition.

It seems like Microsoft has pivoted to be a cloud, services, and dev tools company. They no longer expect revenue growth from Windows. In that context the best strategy is open-source and support everything.... Exactly what they seem to be doing.

If Microsoft is a competitor to Apple, its doing a good thing IMO.

I'm not so sure about that. I think Microsoft have realised finally that competition is good, and actually you can make a lot of money out of services. If you extinguish competition, then you can't sell so many services.

At least, I hope that's what they have realised :-)
