I'm not convinced this is the case. MS is developing various alternatives to Linux, such as a CLI only version, and a version with a different faster kernel.
But I agree that frameworks which can ONLY deploy to Windows (.Net Framework) will die in favor of those that are cross platform (.Net Core).
- scarface74 8y agoWhat competitive advantage does Microsoft gain by having a non GUI server OS? That just becomes a more expensive server OS than Limux.

- manigandham 8y agoWindows Server Core 2016 has barely any usage. Nano Server came and died, basically being an empty shell that can only be a base image for Windows containers. Linux won a long time ago and is so far ahead in tooling and ecosystem support that it just isn't worth it to compete in the server OS space. And that's better for everyone since we can consolidate effort and products.
- pjmlp 8y agoI don't fully agree that a Linux monoculture, or even a POSIX one, is better for everyone. Like every monoculture things either stagnate, or we start getting features just to work around botherom instead of actual innovation.
