From a MS blog post that was on the front page today[0]:

> .NET Core is optimized for building highly scalable web applications, running on Windows, macOS or Linux. If you’re building Windows desktop applications, then the .NET Framework is the best choice for you.

Nope, it's still the same MS as always.
