Noutăți de la microsoft. Foarte suprinzătoare, dacă mă întreabă cineva:
Anunțul detaliat este aici.
.net a fost gandita de la inceput ca o solutie cross platform. era normal sa o faca open source
După 12 ani? 
Au schimbat vreun sef de curand pe acolo?
Ai uitat sa mentionezi alt lucru “socant”: e pe Github (ei au platforma lor codeplex parca, un fel de google code).

While Microsoft has never implemented the full framework on any system except Microsoft Windows, it has engineered the framework to be platform-agnostic,[16] and cross-platform implementations are available for other operating systems (see Silverlight and § Alternative implementations). Microsoft submitted the specifications for CLI (which includes the core class libraries, CTS, and the Common Intermediate Language),[17][18][19] C#,[20] and C++/CLI[21] to both ECMA and ISO, making them available as official standards. This makes it possible for third parties to create compatible implementations of the framework and its languages on other platforms.
