>Actually, with no dotnet for Apple or Linux, at least not any really supported versions, I don't see a future for dotnet at all. Unless you are willing to bet your future only on Windows based devices. With the incerasing number of devices running on iOS, Android, Linux and other operating systems, betting on dotnet may very well turn out to be a dead end.

I don't see the internet disappearing any time soon, and .NET is a perfectly viable web development platform. It's also viable for the 80+ percent of desktops running Windows. That doesn't seem like near the end to me.
