> I don't think Microsoft has ever announced a release date for .NET Core, so why you were confident it would release at a particular point is confusing to me. The expectations that were casually set by members of the team at talks, on Twitter, on Podcasts, and so forth all indicated that .NET Core's arrival was imminent. The bulk of my criticism has been that their communication strategy on its readiness has not been carefully managed. Therein lies the problem.
