Does anyone else work for a company or have clients who are investing heavily in moving off of Microsoft entirely in the past month? It's been like 90% of my work in the past bit. Like, whole ASP.NET apps that were running for decades just being migrated over with a one year timeline to get away from this nonsense.
- Zambyte 2y agoWhen were these applications built that "this nonsense" is a surprise? I mean good for them for deciding now rather than never, just seems strange to me.
- jamal-kumar 2y agoYou'd be surprised how many enterprises have been basically running the same codebase since the 90s
- heywire 2y agoBig push in the retail POS space
- throwaway173738 2y agoWindows has been nothing but a source of problems for my employer’s Windows-based hardware. 7 was the last version I would consider basing a product on.
- jamal-kumar 2y agoI was also thinking medical devices and those other critical things you hear about
- antonyt 2y agoOut of curiosity, what are these companies migrating ASP.NET apps to? Newer ASP.NET (Core) on Linux? Or are they swearing off .NET entirely?
- marcosdumay 2y agoMicrosoft has been strongly pushing everybody into core for a while. Even people that code doesn't (and won't ever) support.
