I wonder if, in the long run, Microsoft is shooting itself in the foot by providing C#/.NET for a non-Windows platform.


The amount of profit they earn from Windows per se is comparatively small these days, as opposed to their applications that run on Windows. For them now, the cloud is the big thing. Windows remains important to host stuff in the cloud but otherwise "we can accommodate everyone else now and still make money" is the strategy. That's why they've become increasingly friendly to non-MS platforms and technology.
