Except that WinForms has not been abandoned. In fact, it's one of the supported paths in the modern .NET stack.

Took me around 6 minutes, and that was only because the person in front of me was talking to the agent about the tote bag they got from Trader Joe's.

The devil, you say?

Admittedly, I onto interact with the devs on the .NET (and related technologies) departments.

Specifically WHY they use Apple hardware is something I can only speculate on. Presumably it's easier to launch Windows on Mac than the other way around, and they would likely need to do that as .NET and its related technologies are cross platform as of 2016. But that's a complete guess on my part.

Am *NOT* a Microsoft employee, just an MVP for Developer Technnolgies.

One author (of both books and OSS) has even written up [0] the pro-active steps he's taken for when "The Emnuggerance" (as Pratchett called it) takes his abilities.

Good show indeed.

Would also recommend his back catalogue, if you haven't.
