[kwlug-disc] ASP.NET 5 for Linux?

[B.S.]

I do wonder if the MS Office call is still true any more, or gone to 
urban legend. Certainly it would be my assumption, but I now question my 
assumption.

I don't doubt about VS, but I do wonder it as percentage of the total. 
If you extrapolate the premise, then MS is, or is becoming, more of a 
server platform, and thus need for development tools - yet (perhaps also 
urban legend, in the sense of how many may still be out there) less and 
less of the server world is running Win Server {anything}.

I wonder if there is an AWS vm OS count out there.

Perhaps this is (more?) if a company determines there is a viable app / 
platform they wish to build for, such as Windows phone or 8, inherently 
that will drive a need for the proprietary server / development tools 
platform necessary to deliver / develop that product.

Let alone, if the company can't figure out how to monetize an Android / 
FOSS platform to maintain a financially viable company, they have no 
choice but Windows (or Mac? Also diminishing?) - thus above need for 
servers and development tools. (And number of such companies also 
diminishing?)
