The first release of .NET was in 2002. The next version, which was code-named Everett before it came out, was .NET 2003 (which is most likely the version you have). 2004 (Whidbey) is just the next version, that's all ... you know, typical upgrade stuff. =)

>>Yes, you'll find information about it as its code name "Whidbey." The most specific release date I've seen so far is sometime in 2004 (big help, huh?)
