(btw, the executable is just a self extracting zip file with a word document in it)
All C# is, is a blatant rip off of Java, with some features added (some nice, some dangerous).
They add "unsafe" operations. These operations do not use the built in memory management. Memory leaks anyone?
They add gotos for no reason.
Some of there base classes (stack was an example) use properties rather than methods. They add the idea of property code that includes functions for get/set. I think this makes the code harder to read as you must chase down these imbeded operators.
They put in the idea of structs (what were they thinking, this should NOT be in new OO languages).
The spec includes Pre-processing statements (#defines, #ifndef, etc). Why???
Bottom line it looks like they took a fairly well designed language (java), and added all kinds of nasties/complexities for programers to deal with. Most of these are throwbacks of things that didn't work well in c/c++.
Digital Cable has NOTHING to do with Digital TV. These things are TOTALLY seperate. Digital cable is still the same resolution as regular tv. Digital that they are refering to is a whole new TV standard, that supports higher resolution etc.
This isn't for file level corruption, it is for programs that try to corrupt NT. This *should* in theory help stabalize mature installs of NT5 (DLL version problems are one of the biggest reasons why NT installs go bad). When you try to install something with older DLL's (like Office 97) NT5 detects that, and won't allow it to happen. If you try to delete system files from winnt (assuming you have the permissions) it will detect that, and replace those files.

No idea why.

David Cutler, along with a crew of people that he brought over from DEC. Somewhat ironic don't you think.
