I am not sure of what the article saiys / Microsoft does.

Do we see a Xojo vs VisualStudio (crossplatform) battle in 2014 ? (or 2015 ?)

Thread already started on that kind of topic : https://forum.xojo.com/13521-microsoft-going-x-plat/unread

does not include desktop application for mac and linux

Not shure about Mac as Xamarin suports Mac development. And Xamarin “secretly” supports Linux (developing the Mono platform) but not distributing the tooling (probably due to [sad for the community, good for Xamarin] M$ agreements).

Anyway, while M$ makes money from their OS’s, their OS’s will get more love than the rest. So, it’ll be a biased cross-platform.
