#15Does this represent some kind of change for .NET? Why is it called 1.0?
Because it's the first version of the xplat .NET (the .NET Core) supported by Microsoft (mono already does an amazing works as xplat, and have done that for years).
It's not confusing if you work in .NET, the .NET Framework 1.0 was released in 2000..

They reset versioning to 1.0 by renaming .NET to .NET Core

It's v1.0 of the "Core" open-source rewrite.

It's the first version of .NET that's cross-platform, it's the first version of .NET that's totally open source, and it's the first version of .NET that can build self-contained apps (no need to have .NET Framework installed to run .NET Core 1.0 apps). See the release notes[0] for more info.
It's called "core", because it doesn't contain the Windows desktop UI toolkits, like Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), and excludes some other Windows-specific functionality.
Additionally, this is the first version of .NET in which apps can be totally self-contained. Previously, you'd need to install the .NET Framework on your machine to run .NET apps. That is no longer a requirement in .NET Core 1.0.
So, it's a pretty huge release. And really the first time in decades that MS has built it's premier dev stack with multiple OS support.

#19A bit unrelated, but I'm hoping to hear something soon about the future licensing model for the upcoming SQL Server on Linux. Do we get a free version without DB size / CPU / RAM limitations (but perhaps with some other restrictions) that smaller companies and startups can use in production?
I'm planning to run my future ASP.NET MVC projects on Linux and very much would like to know if a better SQL Server Express / Community Edition is coming or do I need to move to PostgreSQL (which I have already started looking into).

#20After so many years microsoft finally presenting their tools in a more moden way. Never been a huge fan of .NET but i can't deny is a great tool hopefully people try it out on more platforms.
I still can't shake the feeling that their naming is just confusing. I still am not sure what exactly is .NET and what's not.
.Net is 14 years old now - if you don't know what it is by now you're probably not ever going to know. It's a cross platform runtime and a group of programming languages that run on it, just like Java.
