So, I do follow some of the Twitter users for different Microsoft products
and serives: Visual Studio Code, .NET, and Channel 9.

Since .NET Core, ASP.NET Core, and Powershell Core is open source, they have
been having a lot of tweets around running .NET Core and ASP.NET Core apps on
Linux.

That and the fact that the next relase of SQL Server is going to run on Linux, 
and the fact it is now possible have GNU/Linux utilities with Windows
Subsystems for Linux on Windows 10, it seems to me that Microsoft is making
great strides to allow the possibility to mix and match platforms now.

How do you feel, as developers or those who are interested in being developers,
about this movement toward mixed platforms? Do you think it is a good thing, or
a bad thing? Do you there there is a lot of potential for Microsdt actually
succeeding in allowing this mix and match? Do you think developers and system
anaylsts has been welcoming of this change?

Thoughts?
