Re: Visual Studio for Mac

Maybe if you're talking about Windows or an operating system it's on
Microsoft.

However the .Net Core Framework is an open source development platform
like PHP, Ruby, Node, etc.

IBM Rochester could very easily pick it up and port it to run in PASE.

You're right that running on a Linux partition might work, but if that's
the case why not Windows since that already works just fine.

I was embarrassed to hear Tim Rowe speak at WMCPA last spring and he
couldn't even mention Microsoft by name in front of a room of young
development students who are in the Microsoft programs.

Tim gave a it a little lip service earlier this year to .Net core, but
I'll believe it when I see it.

I'm currently porting my XMLSERVICE wrapper to C# so it will run in .Net
Core or in Xamarin Mobile apps for anyone who is interested in
mlti-platform .Net development.

It will work everywhere except natively on IBM i. Bummer :-(

Richard,

It's not Rochester that's the problem it's Microsoft. Ask them why they
will not support windows running on POWER. There's no technical reason it
couldn't. The other problem is the customer base. They are not asking for
Windows to run on POWER (and willing to pay for it) either.

Since there is a version of Studio that runs on MAC and Ubuntu is supported
under Windows 10, then maybe it's a short jump to supporting one of the
LINUX distributions that run on POWER. That's on Microsoft, not IBM.
