DotNet Core was a real surprise to me. As was Windows Subsystem for Linux.

With DotNet Core we have an extremely well crafted language available on all Windows and Linux. It's a great move on part of Microsoft.

I've heard it told that WSL was actually a repurposing of the Android emulation layer for winphone. If that's true it's a hell of an awesome pivot.
