That is the biggest change in Microsoft IMHO. Talking from personal experience - in the past whenever we worked with MS they always put in stupid requirements such as we had to support X or Y (with X and Y being some new Microsoft technology/platform/product).

It was abuse of their position so I am glad to see this is changing.

Yeah I was in total shock yesterday when I found out they are phasing out app fabric caching in favor of REDIS. Glad times are finally catching up to them, but it feels so much like Sun.. Too little, too late.
