Microsoft plans to open-source .NET server stack

[jinnantonnixx]

Delivering on its promise to support cross-platform development, Microsoft is providing the full .NET server stack in open source, including ASP.NET, the .NET compiler, the .NET Core Runtime, Framework and Libraries, enabling developers to build with .NET across Windows, Mac or Linux. Through this implementation, Microsoft will work closely with the open source community, taking contributions for future improvements to .NET and will work through the .NET Foundation.

 

Microsoft takes .NET open source and cross-platform, adds new development capabilities with Visual Studio 2015, .NET 2015 and Visual Studio Online | News Center

In theory does this mean that Capita could develop an OS X version of SIMS.net?

We can dream. Would love this.

I have users who would LOVE that. We could ditch parallels too

It really depends on libraries and what exactly Microsoft make open source, plus it'd require someone to take the open sourced stuff and build it so it works on OS X (which, to be honest, won't take long to happen).

 

If the cards all fall in the right places, yeah, they could.

 

However, the future is in web based MIS, so I doubt that'd be the direction they'll go!
