    Plenty of DOS type apps around... if they are to be used
    inside of a DOS prompt, as most of the network commands
    are, but they make calls to Win32 API, are they still
    considered DOS? I tend to think of them as DOS apps.

    ipconfig/ping/tracert
    dcdiag, netdiag, addiag
    netcfg, net, whoami, windiff, route, ipxroute

    A lot of commands have both a DOS interface for starting
    them as well as a goobered up Windows interface. This is
    true for most if not all the services.

    net start dns, net stop dns
    net start dhcp, net stop dhcp
    net start wins, net stop wins
    net start ipsec, net stop ipsec
    net start iis, net stop iis
    and the list goes on and on.

    I have so far seen ONLY one app that Microsoft created
    with .Net. And it's a security app.
    http://www.microsoft.com/security/guidance/

    Or search for "Microsoft Security Guidance Kit" on
    Google for the link above.

    SP2 for XP does not require .Net.

    That is the only .Net app that I currently know of.
    I can't comment on it though. I have never installed
    .Net The CD above is free though from Microsoft.

    .Net 2003 was such a great thing Microsoft is giving it
    away free:

    Alot of people have downloaded it, and some
    people are using it, but I still haven't seen any
    promising commercial applications developed
    with it.
