Hi,
any docs on the microsoft site about the future of .net in the long run?
I need to know if .net is going to be the main platform and will fade away
API? or will there be just 2 platforms win32 and .net?
how about mfc libraryin VC++? will there be newer improved mfc LIB with
newer VS or is it going to fade away?

Anything that you can find on Whidbey or Longhorn should tell you this
- yes, .NET is here to stay, and YES, in Longhorn, .NET based classes
and libraries *WILL* be the major and preferred way of doing things
(WinFX).

And no - Win32 API isn't going away any time soon - new stuff is just
not necessarily being added as a "straight" C/C++ API anymore - new
stuff is .NET exclusively (almost all of it, anyway).

so we can have win32 platform but
arent dot net programs very hacker friendly?
any much difference between a dotnet program and an open source program?!

i just mistakenly posted this twice on the board!?

For the time being, but forget about new features / technologies - you
can still work with Win32 and have and use what you know today - but
at some point, you'll be hopelessly obsolete.......

Why?

Why? What way?

Open Source is a LICENSING issue - I give you the right to use the
SOURCE CODE for free, in whatever way you like (more or less).

A DotNet app doesn't imply any of that AT ALL - no way.
