Microsoft have been embracing Open Source for a few years now, so really
this is a logical step for them, rather than a big shift (imho).

It's not entirely clear, but it looks like they're planning to merge the
Mono and .NET runtimes. That could be interesting - I wonder if that means
tech like Mono.Cecil will find its way into mainstream .NET?

Does this mean that Windows 11 will be a Linux Distro?

Oh I know that the report is true and I have some hopes that *this time* it 
might actually be true that MS are *really* open sourcing the .NET Framework.  
I would love to see it.

However, past experience tells me that when MS were under different management, 
open source didn't quite mean what we all know it means.

I'd love to be proved wrong this time.  I'm all for genuine competition.
