Re: There is no .NET in Vista Code?

So, .NET is resulting in:

1) more bugs (because code is being rewritten even though it was
working
fine before)
2) slower apps that require ungodly amounts of RAM
3) a download that requires broadband internet connectivity during
installation (in order to get the .NET runtime)

I believe this trend has been the "bloat is best" mantra at MS for awhile and started back with VB :) You can't have sleek sexy programs running on an OS that keeps growing exponentially in size and requirements. That would just be wrong.

Seriously though, .NET has some nice things and some great benefits. Unfortunately, having used Delphi all these years, their are no "killer" reasons that I have seen to get jealous (at least in what I use day-to-day). It has its place, but Win32 (partially because of a large code base, partially because I still have a choice, and partially because I have the most experience with it) is where I'm staying for awhile.

That doesn't mean I wouldn't look at .NET for some new side projects, but it just is not compelling enough to justify porting existing stuff at this point...
