Please add a support lifespan column to the table of .net versions to clearly show the duration from the first release of a version to it final end of support date. Some of the major .net core versions, such as 2.0, have just over 1 year of support. IT auditors will flag any software running on unsupported frameworks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:D591:5F10:6C0D:6DAA:C399:9FD2 ( talk) 19:32, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
"Unlike most free and open-source software projects, Microsoft collects telemetry when using the software.". This does not belong in the definition of an subject but would maybe go in a seperate section, and probably expected in a section that would then be covered in all pages over all sofware products.
It is quite irritating to see wikipedia wide on every software article the same kind of remarks from open source fanatics and most often in a definition part. It reads always as "someone is enormously frustrated and wants to let the world hear how bad something is by having readers read this as part of the definition of a concept". While obviously there are hundreds of subtopics that could be added to a concept of which "telemetry" (whatever) could be one.
In short: this is not something as part of a definiton and secondly the frustration shines through the words by putting it there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.80.205.220 ( talk) 22:58, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
Yeah, that whole sentence is unnecessary to the article and is just someone grinding their axe. I went ahead and removed it. 2600:1700:211:98D0:F0BA:EFC6:F1B3:B6D9 ( talk) 13:37, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
Re:
But only on Windows? The implicit suggestion that .NET Core, because it is touted as cross-platform, will allow (.NET) GUI applications to run (natively) on Linux is probably not true.
That part is (intentionally?) often left out (or placed far down in the text) by Microsoft, but should it be left out here?

When .NET 5 releases, I think .NET should redirect to this page (or maybe this page be renamed to .NET and .NET Core redirect here). Ian P. Tetriss ( talk) 10:42, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

.NET Core → .NET – .NET Core has been officially renamed .NET with its newest version. .NET currently redirects to .NET Framework, which is being deprecated in the future. intforce ( talk) 19:13, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
"...a conventional ("bazaar"-like) open-source development model under the consolation stewardship of the .NET Foundation."
What is "consolation stewardship"? Is this a consolation prize? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.18.47.206 ( talk) 19:18, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved to
.NET per nom as the proper and now-common name of the subject. Concerns about potential confusion with TLD have been addressed: no one ever types the TLD in all-caps

.NET 6 was announced and added support for Android and iOS. The article currently lists only Windows, Linux, and macOS. Should we list them now or wait for the final release on November 9th? — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiMan3 ( talk • contribs) 10:09, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
The section about the a architecture states the following:
„ .NET supports four cross-platform scenarios: ASP.NET Core web apps; command-line/console apps; libraries; and Universal Windows Platform apps.“
To my understanding, UWP-apps are not cross-platform. One can neither create nor execute such apps on OSX nor Linux. 87.176.238.149 ( talk) 15:56, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
It addresses the patent concerns related to the .NET Framework
I interpreted this statement to mean there was a (perhaps conditional) patent grant from Microsoft, but a quick search turned up empty. Maybe the intent behind this statement was something different entirely. The statement should be rephrased and ideally cite some kind of "legal" opinion by a notable expert or body. Example citations I would consider acceptable for the "patent grant" interpretation include statements from the FSF, a standards organization or stewardship foundation which requires patent grants, or a notable legal opinion. I am, however, not up to speed with WP guidelines; this is not a call to ignore them. It is perhaps best to remove the statement altogether. I prefer to leave this decision up to more seasoned editors; I hope my use of the "citation needed" template attracts them. 2A02:908:4F2:ED80:91D0:8827:90F2:B068 ( talk) 00:42, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
