OK. . . so how would that be correctly interpreted?

Does that mean that VS.NET *will* be the next version of VS (instead of VS7 or possibly VS8)??

Does it mean that WIN.NET will have Win32 support along the lines that DOS is supported in WinXX?

How does that clarafication at PDC impact my interpretations (below)?

Cheers,

Jim N

>It was clarified at PDC this week that .NET is not just about web applications. Win32 apps will be fully supported.
