These releases have several notable features from the teams improving Git Productivity, C++, IntelliCode, .NET, XAML, and Web Tools. What a coincidence this comes out the same day as .NET 5!

Apple has introduced the new M1 chip that will power its new generation of Arm-based Macs. It’s a 5nm processor, just like the A14 Bionic powering its latest iPhones. The only CPU that helps you get out of London?

From the point of view of the processor might be... but I suppose the battery will disagree on that.

The Federal Trade Commission has announced a settlement with Zoom, after it accused the video calling giant of engaging in “a series of deceptive and unfair practices that undermined the security of its users,” in part by claiming the encryption was stronger than it actually was. It was encrypted-like? Encryptedish? Sarcastically encrypted?

Probably they were pioneering the new encryption that the EU is pushing soon...

We’re excited to release .NET 5.0 today and for you to start using it. It’s a major release — including C# 9 and F# 5 — with a broad set of new features and compelling improvements. Gentlement (and ladies): Start your downloads!
I wouldn't expect a patch for at least a week now.

The 3.2 release is loaded with features and performance improvements. Most of the release focused on upcoming .NET 5 and all benefits Uno Platform gets from building on top of it. However, we are also releasing improvements to the controls and tooling we introduced in previous releases. All your buzzwords, in one handy install!
Just in time for the .NET 5 release

Is Uno a Microsoft project? If it's not now, presumably it will be soon. It seems to fill a niche that Microsoft is slow to fill.

Admit it, you’ve got them: legacy .NET applications in production supporting the business. How many times have you been asked the hard question of how you’re going to run those apps in the cloud? So you don't have to stash that old machine under someone's desk

Microsoft says that multiple Windows 10 apps including Outlook are affected by an issue causing them to forget users' passwords after the device is upgraded to certain Windows 10, version 2004 builds. How about a solution for users forgetting their passwords next?
But the icons are OK?

I suppose they will soon come with "Office 365" doesn't forget and an offer to upgrade

In the beginning there was .NET Framework, and it was all very simple. But then, over time, it grew and grew, and became a lot more complicated. Write once, run in some places

You're ignoring an important qualifier to what you quoted:
Quote: At least not initially…
And even after that, it was "complicated".
.net 1.1, was an in place replacement for 1.0, after that you could only have one of 2.0/3.0/3.5 installed, and then 4.x was the third set of only 1 version installed at a times.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Quote: But the framework could be updated separately, meaning that the release cadence was not completely tied to the Windows release cadence. At least not initially… However, .NET Framework did not have side-by-side installation capabilities ...
I think you're parsing that paragraph incorrectly. 
"At least not initially..." relates to "the release cadence was not completely tied to the Windows release cadence", not ".NET Framework did not have side-by-side installation capabilities".
It's
- the release cadence was not completely tied to the Windows release cadence. At least not initially…
- .NET Framework did not have side-by-side installation capabilities
Not:
- the release cadence was not completely tied to the Windows release cadence.
- At least not initially… However, .NET Framework did not have side-by-side installation capabilities
I've spoken to the author on Twitter, and he's confirmed that he'd forgotten that 1.x, 2.x, and 4.x could be installed side-by-side.
And IIRC, 1.1 was a side-by-side install with 1.0. The first in-place upgrade was 3.0 and 3.5, which were more like service packs for 2.0.
