Announcing .NET Core and ASP.NET 5 RC

Different eras, different revenue sources, different incentives.

In the days of ASP.NET v1, MS made money from server licences to run IIS and ASP.

These days they want to make money from Azure, and they make money regardless of if it's hosting .Net, PHP, Java or node.js; or on linux or windows. The .Net open stack becomes a loss leader. Ironically, it's also going to greatly improve .Net on AWS.
