>I know what you're saying but my advice is don't make any hasty decisions. Radical changes of direction like open source may be for developers far younger than you and me. Microsoft and the CP program do bring advantages. C# and VB are not going away any time soon. .NET is not going away any time soon. Microsoft is annoying with the changes of strategic direction but we already knew that. We are in the same age range and the career decisions that make sense for us may not be the same ones an unmarried 20 something would make.

You're kidding right? Many .net developers my age are developing using Java as well. There are a lot of jobs out there with it too. I got offered one not long ago. You go where the work is.
