All true as long as MSFT doesn't throw us under the bus. Like they did for SilverLight, WPF (which was never completed), their ridiculous fractured desktop environment (UWP) and now .NET. Sure .NET Core is going to be good, but didn't Java say in 1991 (build once run anywhere)? Microsoft just learned that lesson starting with their .NET Core concept a few years ago ~
