Clean up how we refer to the version of ASP.NET Core #31773

Open

Description

We have a bunch of places where we refer to ASP.NET Core as if it carries its own version (for example "ASP.NET Core 8.0"), but it's really .NET that has the version. So, instead of "ASP.NET Core 8.0" we really should be saying "ASP.NET Core in .NET 8". Note also that when referring to the version of .NET we typically don't include any decimal. It's .NET 8 instead of .NET 8.0.

I'd like to propose updating our docs for all supported version (.NET 6+) to replace "ASP.NET Core X.0" with "ASP.NET Core in .NET X":

  • ASP.NET Core 6.0 -> ASP.NET Core in .NET 6
  • ASP.NET Core 7.0 -> ASP.NET Core in .NET 7
  • ASP.NET Core 8.0 -> ASP.NET Core in .NET 8
  • ASP.NET Core 9.0 -> ASP.NET Core in .NET 9

If there are any cases where we can simply drop referring to a specific version of ASP.NET Core, then that is preferred.
