Someone please tell Microsoft this. They're trying to compete in everyone else's market, while kind of forgetting about the one they dominate. Developers wanted a linker for .Net; they never got one. Viable market penetration of any given version of the .NET framework always lagged several years between the latest available. They've churned through multiple desktop development technologies in the past decade, and winforms, the only one that will meet the needs of most the market (XP -> 8), is no longer being updated. And, Visual Studio 2012 doesn't even have a built-in project deployment tool for desktop apps, instead relying on WiX or outside vendors. I realize that Microsoft can't tread water forever, but if the PC desktop does die, part of the blame will lay at Microsoft's own feet.
