And yet the os group at ms is famous for their naked derision of the .net Framework.

Because of political wars that lead the .NET team to base the Framework on the CLR instead of the COM+ Runtime that was being prototyped.

.NET Native is what Ext-VOS was going to be, if it wasn't for the decision to create the CLR instead.

What I mean was that M$ have competing offer to Android/iOS but it is not getting the upper hand even within their own organization.
