Microsoft had made a mistake when they haven't made .NET open source and cross platform, but the company was different back then.

When they introduced .NET Core I was impressed they drove the open source and cross platform ride and finally realized it's crucial in order to compete in every standard, but was skeptic about the reliability of it.

When .NET Standard was introduced, I was confused. So many different .NET versions, so many APIs and so much synchronization needed to be done by one who wants to target .NET Standard.

Today, I am confident Microsoft is going to use the benefits of all different mishmash of .NET frameworks to create an amazing, easy to deal with and truly cross platform framework.
Bravo!
