This is actually pretty awesome. I liked package managers (using linux and Windows on dualboot), one of the best tools for Windows is Cygwin (using Linux commands in Windows).. Where i can automate a lot of (manual) work. It seems to me that Microsoft is going all-in on open-source and flexibility. If you are using Asp.Net, you should check out Owin and project Helios - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdev/archive/2014/02/…

If you like Cygwin and Package Managers, checkout the wonderful Cyg-Apt: https://code.google.com/p/cyg-apt/

apt-cyg seems more widely used. Are there any advantages cyg-apt offers, or is it just another alternative?

Almost a meta comment, but Microsoft seems to be knocking their BUILD conference out of the park this year. I think we've already seen more notable announcements and improvements than we'll see at WWDC. Just the fact that there was a talk about developing iOS apps by the founder of Xamarin is telling. The fact that he was wearing Google Glass is another...

Yes, things are looking healthy for Microsoft's developer reputation. Now if only they implemented C99 and full POSIX....

You know Microsoft had a POSIX subsystem in Windows not long ago, right? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754351.aspx http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interix http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_POSIX_subsystem

Ach, I just needed to release a pressure valve. I think I'm mentally getting ready to abandon ASP.Net soon in all honesty, it's such a mess. And just because you can make a car doesn't make you a great race-driver ;) EDIT: WTF is going on with downvotes this week? If you don't agree with me, reply, don't down-vote. A spec designer of HTML, which no sane person can claim isn't riddled with bad design decisions, is not…

If you don't agree with me, reply, don't down-vote. With an account that old you should know better -- downvotes are perfectly fine for disagreement. This is not Reddit.

No they're not. With an account that old you should know downvotes have never been about disagreement. It's a new phenomenon which seems to have been happening alarming rapidly over the last few months.

Maybe we're just from different timezones.

That's a very minimal definition of POSIX.

Oops, you're right -- I use apt-cyg myself! https://code.google.com/p/apt-cyg/

Can't imagine how I could get them confused! ;)
