Analysis of .NET Use in Longhorn and Vista

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-would-bill-do dept.

smallstepforman writes "In a classic example of "Do as I say, not as I do", Richard Grimes analyses the ratio of native to managed code in Microsoft's upcoming Vista Operating System. According to the analysis at Microsoft Vista and .NET, "Microsoft appears to have concentrated their development effort in Vista on native code development. Vista has no services implemented in .NET and Windows Explorer does not host the runtime, which means that the Vista desktop shell is not based on the .NET runtime. The only conclusion that can be made from these results is that between PDC 2003 and the release of Vista Beta 1 Microsoft has decided that it is better to use native code for the operating system, than to use the .NET framework.""

    What is the point of all the time-saving, "ease of use" features of .Net when the real problem is that all of you Developers and Programers are destroying your productivity by reading reading slashdot and trying to one up each other by trying to post insightful comments.
