.net 2.0 and VS 2003

VS2003 compiles for v1.1, you can't change that (limits the feature set to
that of v1.1 when relying vs's intellisense etc), however applications built
with it probably work under v2.0 fine (in limits of breaking changes in
moving from v1.1 to v.2.0)

But to fully use 2.0 with a IDE, you'd need vs2005.
 
Strange though that MS find it so difficult to target multiple frameworks...
in the end, VS is a generic workbench type of application, isn't it? Can't
they just wrap everything platform-version-specific in interfaces and that'd
be it?

Granted, that probably would sell less copies of a new VS version.

That's probably *exactly* why.
