That's the same reason I want to switch to developing for Windows. Except, I don't consider Unix the ideal standard anymore. For instance, PowerShell isn't a real unix shell, but it seems to be a type-safe version of one with first-class access to the platform's first-class API, which is exciting.

One other cool technology, originally developed as an OSS project by MSFT employees is ScriptCS: http://scriptcs.net/

It can complement or replace PowerShell, but what I really like about it is that it introduces a Python-style C# REPL.
