They literally just said Visual Studio 2015 will run on Linux and Mac.

--As people pointed out, this isn't true. I was confused by Ars Technica's headline declaring VS to be "cross platform".

Are you confusing "Visual Studio 2015 ... uilding applications that run on platforms including Windows, Linux, iOS and Android." with "Visual Studio 2015 will run on"?

I was confusing "cross-platform" with "runs on", yeah. I thought that as Ars says Visual Studio is cross platform, that it would mean it runs on multiple platforms. A closer read indicates that may not be true.
