I wonder where you got this idea from.
It may just be FUD, but…
.NET is pretty strong at Microsoft conferences, even this year BUILD had
lots of new goodies announced.
They can decide to target the WinRT runtime instead of the CLR, go fully
native instead of generating MSIL bytecodes, or keep using CLR.
There appears to be a lowering of the CLR position in the Microsoft
public stances, and a rise of the native position (mostly C++).
Clearly .NET remains a strong Microsoft technology in the short term,
but it has not really achieved the penetration recently that perhaps it
should.
I concur in the sentiment. My perception is that the new Windows 8
architecture (forgot the name... that layered thing) downplays CLR.
