I'm with you there. If the framework is only ever offered as a separate

I'll just continue to use it in-house.

Assuming that Vista shows up in early 2007 how many years do you estimate it
will be before it is adopted by enough end users for you to safely assume
that everyone that is a potential buyer of your nifty WinFX end-user
products will have a Vista machine? My guess is never! One reason is that
WinFX runtime will be available as a free download for today's Win-XP and
Win-Server 2003 machines so there will be much less incentive to upgrade the
OS or buy new machines just to get Vista with WinFX.
