Other companies should be paying attention to Microsoft's PR department here. They've done really well at timing these kinds of announcements over the past several months, repeatedly getting their name on the front pages of places like Reddit and HN a few days after the last announcement fades away.

I'm just a .NET developer who is following what's new in the field and bearing no relation to Microsoft's PR department. This issue comment was posted 6 days ago so they much likely didn't know this was possible when they were reporting news from the event Microsoft Connect(); 2016 last week.

And that invalidates my comment... how? Microsoft announcements appear here in a nicely-spaced way that seems to garner lots of interest and, yet, not induce fatigue. How and why this is happening is "an exercise left to the reader."

This is not an official announcement, it is not even an announcement. What the fuck are you talking about?

1995 - circa 2014

Action: Microsoft is hostile to Open Source movement for many years.

Reaction: developers have a deep distrust of Microsoft.

2014 - current day

Action: Microsoft open sources a series of core projects and starts contributing to major Open Source projects.

Reaction: ???

Great work. Can't help but notice most of the contributors in this issue are Samsung Electronics employees. Interesting to see Samsung in the .net world!

You can build Tizen apps in .Net now I imagine they're working to improve compatibility across all Tizen devices. Samsung is also now a member of the .Net foundation https://www.tizen.org/blogs/dh0922/2016/tizen-.net-developer...

Which will be the fourth reboot on the Tizen SDK stack, so I don't know if they will actually win anything with it.

They already went through Meego APIs, replaced by Bada OS C++ APIs, replaced by C and Enlightenment APIs, alongside HTML5 apps.

As a developer I would be weary to invest any resources in so unstable OS design.

That invalidates your comment in so far as that the person that submitted this as news claims to have no affiliation with Microsoft.

Unless you claim that the submitter is lying your whole 'Hey, nicely done by your PR department, Microsoft' argument goes down the drain.

I NEVER SAID IT WAS! Good grief, people. You'd think the strawman argument wouldn't get this kind of traction on HN. I had a thought that I've seen lots of announcements -- nicely timed -- along these lines over the past few months. That's it. MOST of it has come from official sources. I was just making a freaking observation, and making an inference about it. It wasn't particularly about this post at all.

Sorry for interrupting the circle jerk; I'll go back to lurking.

Welcome to astroturfing 101. And they rely on people like you to keep the doubt alive.

But you have to be incredibly naive to think social media manipulation isn't a core part of companies marketing strategies today.

Looking forward to an official Docker image for this. The Raspberry Pi is probably the main board we think of when people say 'ARM' - but the Pine64 and Odroid C2 are maybe better suited - being 64-bit and the Odroid having twice as much memory.

What kind of .NET runs on Windows 10 IoT though (on the RPi Model 3)??

It was already there, but not the main version. .NET Compact and Micro had ARM versions. There is also an Arduino (AVR) that uses .NET Micro as their OS.

Exactly :)! For the Arduino you are potentially referring to the Netduino, which allows you to write applications targeting the .NET Micro Framework.

Re: Netduino - I've got one of them, works really well with Visual Studio, i.e. hitting break points, stepping through code running on the board etc.
