Seems like Microsoft has repeatedly hit their developers (developers, developers) recently. - They're beginning to lock down their platform - They effectively killed the once hailed .NET for desktop development - They're killing other popular technology, like XNA It appears as if they're in the process of migrating away from their island of proprietary technology, adopting stuff that has become popular in the rest of the world. I wouldn't be surprised if they killed off DirectX in favour of OpenGL at this point. And that'd be good, of course. But I'm wondering if alienating all those MS-only developers is a good idea.
