Yeah, .NET is actually an impressive piece of tech. They have F# too which is a really solid programming language. And then they chose React of all things to build core OS UI.
Because .NET is under DevDiv, F# came from Microsoft Research, and the OS is under Windows team.
Windows team even refuses to have managed bindings for DirectX, like Apple and Google do on their platforms.
Managed DirectX and XNA were pushed by highly motivated individuals, and lasted only as long as they stayed at Microsoft.
