Agreed. I wish they would would buy Xamarin and make it easy to build C# MVC applications and deploy on Linux/BSD. Give me that with entity framework to MySQL/Postgresql and I am sold. Will convert over to using it for everything. Add in ReSharper and it has the potential to be the most productive environment on any platform.


Can't sell windows server licenses if you let people run on Linux.

Xamarins price is way too high and I bet apple would block the apps built with it if msft bought them (and they'd likely sue for reverse engineering).


> apple would block the apps built with it

Apple went there [1] and failed [2].
