Just out of interest, how much of Vista, Office 2K8, Visual Studio 2K8 is
written in managed code?

Guy,

Managed code is not the only development environment supported by Microsoft.

Why should they use it. Probably most of there librarys are not in that. Did
they write somewhere that you ***should*** use managed code.

For the rest sounds this the same for me as asking to AirBus how often they
use there big planes themselves instead of cars.

You got some kind of proof here that the above applications are .Net managed
code applications? I kind of doubt that they are .Net managed solutions.

I just did a simple check of the devenv.exe for VS 2005. It appears to be
written in C#, which would qualify it as a managed code application. Also,
it is possible to write an entire OS except for specific hardware handlers
in "managed" code. Digital Equipment did this 30 years ago with VAX/VMS.
This happens to be the major reason there are so few security holes in
OpenVMS today.
