The MSDN blog post on the introduction of .NET Core http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2014/12/04/introducing-net-core.aspx is very interesting and lays out quite a bit of the future .NET strategy.

I did find one section particularly entertaining though:

Says so much about the conflicts and arcane processes of so many corporate IT departments.
