   Well the
problem is that both their new Lightswitch&  upcoming Visual

  Heh.  It's obviously an attempt at creating lots and lots of vendor

 succeeded all over the place. 
The thing that has always bugged me about .NET is that MS billed it as
cross-platform, then turned right around and made crucial libraries
Windows-only.
