  1. Re:ASP.NET, C# and .NET are actually quite good. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Millions of Websites Affected By Unpatched Flaw in Microsoft IIS 6 Web Server (pcworld.com)

    You need to run them on Windows. Deal killer.

    It's not 2005 any longer. Modern versions of ASP.NET, C# and .NET Core run on Windows, Linux and macOS, in addition to being open source.

    Here are some links to browse if you're interested in getting up to date:
    - https://www.asp.net/open-source
    - https://github.com/microsoft/dotnet
    - https://github.com/aspnet
    - https://dotnetfoundation.org/
    - https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#linuxredhat
    - https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#macos

    Even SQL Server is being ported to Linux.

    The Microsoft of 2017 is not the Microsoft of the early 2000s.

  2. Re:what's so "unthinkable"? by terjeber · · Score: 1 · on Is Microsoft 'Reaping the Rewards' From Open-Sourcing Its .NET Core? (infoworld.com)

    The .Net Foundadtion is a 501(c) organization is the steward of the .Net framework going forward. The licensing only puts forward minimum requirements, no restrictions on extending etc. In reality, Microsoft is no longer in the drivers seat of the .Net framework. Every aspect of the .Net core framework is under MIT license. As is Mono. The ASP MVC stuff is under Apache etc.

    MS has in reality relinquished any control of the .Net framework, but not retroactively to older platforms. What else can they do to give away the control? Where could MS sue anyone for extending the .Net framework?

    Look at this. And this and this and even this.

    Raaawrgh. Not the "this, this and this" dance again. ;) Let me FTFY...

    "Look at Microsoft Open Technologies. And .NET Foundation and a Computerworld article about Internet of Things and even Codeplex."

    A good rule of thumb is that the sentence should be readable even without seeing which URLs the hyperlinks point to.
