No, he is right though. .NET was not only on Windows, but Windows CE as well. Later also via Silverlight.

You think of cross-platform as cross-vendor.

Not really. A single vender can be multi platform, for example Oracle. MS wants to propel their Windows platform. Windows can run on several types of hardware, but these are variations of the same thing.
