    One thing is for sure MSFT has a massive developer network. I recently finished managing a development effort using .NET3.5 and WPF. The development timeline was fast and using an agile method allowed the team to get a product to market quickly. How quickly can the dev. community can adapt and migrate the massive base of programs already in production to apps that are cross platform capable? This will be very important because there is a lot of competition for market share right now and with PC manufacturers dumping hardware units it seems that MSFT stranglehold may finally slip in the years to come at the enterprise workstation level. More and more people want to be untethered from the legacy PC. Someone needs to make the PC platform sleek and sexy in order to compete with consumers and users that are tired of noisy fans, burning laps, clunky cases and flaky hardware drivers

    I am actually quite excited about this, and I am not even a Windows user.
