I have a deep hatred for .NET stuff - most due to the framework installation probably, but I try to keep up with these things that may be the future - or they may not ?
This article about Vista and .NET/WinFX was digged today:
Microsoft appears to have concentrated their development effort in Vista on native code development. In contrast to PDC03LH, Vista has no services implemented in .NET and Windows Explorer does not host the runtime, which means that the Vista desktop shell is not based on the .NET runtime. The only conclusion that can be made from these results is that between PDC 2003 and the release of Vista Beta 1 Microsoft has decided that it is better to use native code for the operating system, than to use the .NET framework.
