'''The software currently (this is early 2020) called .NET was originally for all operating systems, but Microsoft then decided to restrict it to just Windows, mostly to encourage greater dominance by Microsoft software and hardware. Mono was then born based on .NET to work with all operating systems, Mono subsequently changed independently from .NET. More recently Microsoft launched an alternative called .NET Core that took out of .NET the parts that were Windows specific. Perhaps confusingly, in November 2020, there will be change around of names, and the multi-operating system .NET Core product will take over the .NET name. I don't pretend to understand the technical details, but the impression I get is that the new .NET in November will be similar to Mono, so apps designed for that will still work, but apps using .NET to make code designed for windows will stop working''' | '''The software currently (this is early 2020) called .NET was originally for all operating systems, but Microsoft then decided to restrict it to just Windows, mostly to encourage greater dominance by Microsoft software and hardware. | ||
