so what is Blackcomb?

Just arrived in the Platform news: "Microsoft announced that the product formerly code-named "Whistler" will include the .NET Framework and be called Windows .NET Servers." I thought that the "proper" .NET (sorry Christian, .NOT) O/S was going to be Blackcomb. Al. ATL Student :rolleyes:

My understanding is this: Since XP Server is being delayed until next year, they will have the opportunity to put the final .NET framework into it. XP Personal and Pro will be finished at about the same time the framework is finished, so they won't be able to put it in that. Blackcomb will be .NET version 2.

Yes, that is what they said at the .NET conference in Copenhagen, in March: .NET framework will be shipped with server versions of OS in 2002, but not with Pro version.

Hello! My understanding of this: "Blackcomb" is a codename for version of Windows OS next to the Whistler (or Windows.NET), which is due to 2003/2004. Whistler should be give us some pieces of .NET Platform (.NET Framework, some web services, ...). But only Blackcomb should implement .NET platform fully as MS imagine its (with all new "User experiences" such as whole new UI dabbed "Universal Canvas", support for natural language recognition, ...). But to become more real, it is really hard to say what there will be in future about two+ years from now, so best answer should be "we'll see." SlavoF "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember.

Sounds like they are holding off for those 10 Terabyte hard drives and the 12 GigaHertz processors it will take to store and run all this crap... C++/MFC/InstallShield since 1993
