Wow...wait, what?! Seriously? (major .NET news)

OK, I am not sure if this is true or not because I can't find anything on MSDN to confirm it, but check check this out. There is some expected stuff, such as the further open-sourcing of .NET, but then it is mixed with bombshells such as real .NET versions on Linux and OSX?! Really?

Has anyone heard anything about this? I still have a hard time believing it. Here is another site that seems to be at the center of what is going on, but I didn't see any mentions about native, true .NET CLRs for Linux and OSX. That would be a real game-changer, since cross-platform support is really seen as one of the last things that Java really holds over .NET.

To my knowledge, there were rumors, but Microsoft officially confirmed it today.

Microsoft under Nadella has gotten really good at keeping secrets. This is a brilliant move by them!
