A while ago some concerns were expressed regarding Microsoft’s plans for .NET, based on an article that was written in response to a Windows 8 preview in May (see earlier post). During the preview session, not much was mentioned about these plans.
In last week’s Windows 8 Build event, MS provided details on the forthcoming release of .NET 4.5. The following session outlines the new features in .NET 4.5 supporting Windows 8.

Essentially this is a mainly incremental release (although including some substantial changes to the CLR to support new Windows 8 technologies). There is no evidence or suggestion that there are any plans to replace .NET with any framework based on HTML 5 and/or Javascript as suggested elsewhere.
