Any alternate views? particularly on whether microsoft will get benefitted
out of .NET port to linux?
Porting .NET to Linux will definitely help Microsoft. Perhaps not
in direct Windows sales, but in the platform war against Java.
Microsoft is already heavily involved in adding .NET support for
Python, Ruby, etc. Back in 2000 my university was funded by
Microsoft to port our Mercury programming language to .NET.
An increased .NET marketshare, will certainly benefit Microsoft.
