Microsoft's new IoT website

In general this is of more use to actual people building IoT devices. Currently they support Wiring but promised NETMF will get there.

I tested mono on different Linux boards and it works great with very good performance (comparable to native code). So you don’t need .NET Core at the moment.

In the future I think Mono and .NET Core will be merging…

I read on the Mono website, that now that MS is making more and more parts OpenSource, they will adopt code from MS into Mono.
