The next post in the series, https://meanderingthoughts.hashnode.dev/history-of-microsoft... is more technical.
I should do some sort of write up of just .netMF, but I don't honestly recall too much about it in a general sense, since most of my time was spent in the weeds optimizing code.

Thanks! Sadly my submissions to HN don't do well, I've only ever hit the front page with my launch announcement of the MS Band.

It is actually a pretty nice framework, but it does (did) require a 32bit CPU at minimum, and a hefty amount of flash.
That said, the UI framework was a joy to work with!
