>Microsoft will support .NetCore for at least 20 years. Without doubt.

On Windows for sure. Not on *nix though.

I think they will. I think we're slowly moving to a post-Windows Microsoft world and MS is taking a leap to be a big part of that through tools.

I do not think Windows will be a thing in 2025.

    I think, you think... any CTO, or CEO/owner of a company won't as easily put so much at stake (and IT is crucial part of every major company of any type). MS has a long history of hating and subverting anything other than Windows, it's almost cartoonish when looking back.

    This might be just my experience (over 11 years, over +-10 companies) that noone takes MS servers seriously. Only exceptions are Active directory, Exchange and some special reasons where MS SQL server needs to be used (for whatever reasons). Never seen any bussiness-critical app apart from those mentioned running on anything except Linux or Unix.

    They're moving in right direction, but thy need to climb really big hill, which they built themselves.

    If they open source it (and they hinted that they might), I think it might.
