Possible, that this could be interesting:

There is some rumor, that Microsoft plans to acquire Xamarin:
http://www.crn.com/news/mobility/3000720…tup-xamarin.htm

Xamarin is one of the main developers of the OpenSource .NET called Mono. (and for .NET existing a BASIC dialect called Visual Basic .NET. Thats only to show the relationshipo between Jabaco )
Here the Mono-Sources: https://github.com/mono
Possible, that Microsoft makes its .NET then OpenSOurce, too. But that is only a speculation of myself. The source of .NET is already for download. But not under an OpenSource-License:

http://referencesource.microsoft.com/download.html

And here Xamarin annonced an after-show-party sponsored by Microsoft for Xamarin:

Btw: That with the codelegions is nice.
