you serious?

It's true. While many think they need to run to Microsoft to get a job, nix applicants have become more scarce and command a higher salary. Now that the world is moving to mobile, where Windows is almost non-existant for devices and far behind world-wide server usage, nix/BSD people will be in more demand.

Yeah, thats just my observation.

Big deal, Apple fanboys / Objective-C people earn the most and are in highest demand still.

Microsoft is downhill because anything with clouds or servers is none of their business.

In reality (microsoft) Azure is becoming one of the most profitable "division" of microsoft itself, increasing revenues quarter over quarter (and also, they announced around 20% of their vms are running linux)

You know that you can run an entirely non-.NET stack in Azure? 100% linux servers, PHP, apamongoDB, postgresSQL, mySQL, etc. You can even leverage a lot of the PaaS offerings with PHP/node.js.

I don't know that anyone should take what you have to say on this matter seriously.
