Essentially ... "Nowadays nobody under thirty writes anything on Microsoft developer tools unless they are demented or brain-dead. Firstly the kids out of the colleges know the platform agnostic stuff well. Secondly when half the computers leaving factories either run iOS or Android (that is are smart-phones) nobody sensible will write in a way that does not allow easy porting to these platforms."

Under-thirty checking in as a user of Microsoft developer tools. There is still little out there that can beat C# all-around. There still is no alternative for Visual Basic.NET. XNA is still a quite popular game development framework. Kids out of college know what their college specialized in. This is either Java or Visual Studio, and chances are when they graduate they'll get jobs at a company making corporate desktop software on Windows. The best way to discourage an aspiring programmer is to tell him/her "yeah it works, but it's not cool."

  He's over-generalizing with that statement, but I would definitely agree that most start-ups are using RoR or LAMP, and not anything from Microsoft.

    Most software isn't written at start-ups, of course.

The guy seems to be living in an alternate universe, alongside offending everyone that brings bread home with Microsoft tools.
