    Can anyone please clarify this for me: Will programs written VB.NET or C# be able to be compiled to normal executables? And if so, would you then have to have some kind of runetime to be distributed along with it? Will Win95 be supported? Anyone? Christian Skovdal Andersen

      There will be a runtime (CLR), and it will be compatible with any Win32 platform. A coleague of mine told me he had it running on Win98.

        For supported platforms go here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/Welcome/dsmsdn/deepc11272000.htm Short list here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dotnet/cpguide/cpconaspnetplatformrequirements.htm The same question about exe deployment has been asked in many places, but no one seems to know the answer. I remeber reading somewhere(pre-beta) that you could, but am not sure if they had a change in plans. Even if you could deploy using normal exe you would still need the run-time installed, unless ofcourse the new .Net tools will allow you to statically link the runtime into your app. Oh the horror! :eek: The way I see it these runtimes will be really optimized for newer windows platforms and supported as an extra layer for their 'legacy' platform. So if you want an increase in performance(used loosely) you will have to take out some $ and upgrade to newer MS platforms. At least thats the way I see Microsoft's plan. Anyone with any thoughts on this...

              I can see it now - if you do this, your hard disk requirements will be "4gb or higher"...

                    Went to MSDN Summer roadshow yesterday. There is going to be an option to compile to pure executable, but it is not recomended. 95 will not be supported and it is now a legacy OS. ATL Student :rolleyes:
