This is good. I have worked with open source languages for decades. I don’t see what closed source languages gain from keeping closed.
To: SeekAndFind
Great! Now everyone else can patch their systems constantly....

Sorry. Couldn't help myself. This may actually indicate a change in direction with MS, given that Ballmer is finally history. I'll be in a wait and see mode with it. MS has a lot of history to get past before much of anything that they do will be welcomed with open arms by the open source communities.

Bigger market for MS and other apps, hopefully the death of the pos that is mono.

I don't think it'll be more bugs for Linux and OS X -- I think it'll mean fewer for Windows, and that's good for everyone.

It’s a “framework” (set of software development tools) for writing programs. It’s a good move, in my opinion. It might make a much larger pool of developers available for writing software packages with the languages related to C++ and result in greater talent and more programs that run faster.

I’m with you. Just purchased a new windows surface and can’t figure out why the keyboard won’t work when attached. I know its pilot error. But I’m loving my new puter.
