Correct me if I'm wrong since I'm no longer .NET regular (but was in the past around 2005-2007 ish).
Lately the development in .NET revolves mostly around Sharepoint (customizing), cloud deployment, and probably Dynamics AX/GP/CRM.
The era of Microsoft shops building independent products seem to slowly/gradually being phased out by the web-app shops (the SaaS type). Lately the trend for MS shops are largely around "toolkits" companies such as Telerik, DevForce, and Infragistics or the "webparts" (SharePoint) companies like Bamboo Solutions. That's pretty much it...
There might be a bunch of "worried" .NET developers that don't want to work on Sharepoint customizations. But I'm pretty sure there are plenty consultants that won't mind doing that kind of works.
But again, this is just my personal point of view.
