As I read here http://www.sdtimes.com/MAC_DEVELOPERS_EMBRACE_NET_WITH_VISUAL_OBJECTIVE_C/By_I_B__Phoolen/34234

The centerpiece of Visual Studio for Mac OS X is Visual Objective-C, a native implementation of Apple’s preferred object-oriented programming language, which is used on both Mac OS X and the iPhone SDK. According to Ballmer, Visual Objective-C will also appear in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 for Windows. Applications written in the Smalltalk-inspired language will require only a simple recompile to run on both Mac and Windows 7 systems, he said.

April fools' day - I strongly doubt that Microsoft would ever port Visual Studio to run on OS X because of very different technology platforms.

OK, it wasn't Steve Balmer making the announcement but Microsoft stated today (not April Fool's) that Visual Studio Code will run on OS X and Linux. Whether this will actually change the weather forecast for Haddes (or insert culturally appropriate analogy here) is anybody's guess.
