I notice you haven't bothered to answer any of my questions. Are you really
interested in discussion or simply scoring points?

Yes, I do. How do you think you are going to get at the new .NET
functionality that is native to the drivers without having a wrapper layer,
however implemented??

The issue is not existing Win32 functionality, it is OS functionality that
will be added in the future.

e.g.
1. The NTFS file system *is* going to be superceded by WinFS which only has
a managed .NET API. Unless M$ write a backwards-compatible layer that
emulates the NTFS file system, how do you think you are going to talk to
it???

2. The new Avalon UI framework is already being written in C# managed code.
How do you think you are going to be able to talk to that from Win32 without
a wrapper layer???

If you have an OS whose file system and UI are both written in managed .NET
code, just how do you think M$ are going to achieve backwards
compatibility??

Answers please.
