Is there any relation between .NET and XP? XP doesn't even come with the
runtime preinstalled right - so i don't think there is nothing to do with
both.
I think Longhorn is based on .NET - i mean a rewrite (at least of many
portions) with .NET - dunno for sure...

"Win32 API from previous Windows versions is being replaced by a new
..NET-based API called WinFX, for example."
