Actually, because Windows development (using Visual Studio) is not only c#
It's also vb.net, f# and so much else. Even node.js is integrated now! In short, it's a very adaptable IDE (with a lot of features also).
But it isn't Windows anymore since Owin.
What's also nice is that they are innovating the platform for integrations with popular (opensource) like features. Eg. The scaffolding of Rails got integrated into Asp.Net MVC in it's own way. NodeJS selfhostable option is adapted into .Net as "Owin".
SignalR is their realtime component, you got live IDE features when developing webapps (it uses SignalR in the background)

It's kinda a mix of "all worlds" :)
