Microsoft is much more open these days than it was before ... I mean, .NET is even "cross platform" nowadays, right? At least I've heard about ".NET Core" that it's able to run on Windows, Linux and Mac.
I'm a longtime Java developer (well over the last few years I've largely moved to other stacks), and in my mind .NET was always conceptually very similar to Java, but tied to Windows. But even that isn't the case anymore since it's cross platform now.

That's correct
