Re: Cross platform
It would take something extraordinary for me to consider using this stuff in my commercial Linux development work. Several reasons:
1. I have zero trust in Microsoft regarding sometime in the future tweaking this into a patent trap.
2. I have zero trust in them continuing to support any programming technology long-term.
3. I have zero trust in them not going after my customers for license / patent reparations, if I use this stuff in my commercial products.
Microsoft has repeatedly demonstrated that they're a trustworthy business partner in one and only one area of technology: they make decent mice.
