Yeah, some great stuff happening in the .Net space. I particularly liked the plans to support Mac and Linux, as well as Xamarin (free version) will work in Visual Studio. I wonder if that means Visual Studio will run on a Mac? On Fri, Nov 14, 2014 at 7:52 AM, Wallace Turner

Why won't it? Visual studio is a WPF app right? It the .net framework is on the Mac (not yet but will be) then what's to stop it running? I guess it depends if you can install VS via xcopy install or not :) Sent from my iPhone On 14 Nov 2014, at 8:50 am, William Luu will@gmail.com wrote:

20% discounts on Xamarin still mean AUD1000 minimum per year. I haven’t heard a “Microsoft to buy Xamarin” rumour since March this year, but Telerik was recently acquired by Progress Software (I have their Stylus Studio XML editor-designer suite, otherwise “who are they?”). Things happen. Does
