Re: There is no .NET in Vista Code?

Yes WinFX does require Win-XP SP2 and Net 2.0 be installed but nothing else
just for the runtime - I have the latest Feb CTP runtime installed on my
machine, along with The Orca extensions for VS 2005 that provide XAML
support including Cider which is the WinFX design surface for VS and it's
more than a little "green" at this point. WinFX is said to be "feature
complete" for WPF (Avalon) and Go Live license available for both WCF and
WFF. Up to this point the CTPs for WPF have usually been "code breaking" but
that should (hopefully) be minimized going forward as they find and remove
bugs. To get all this to work together they require you to download the
entire Windows SDK which is bigger than all outdoors.

I also have the Expression Interactive Designer EID pronounced "Sparkle"
which was built with Avalon. Microsoft is emphatic that it's a design tool
intended for Graphic Designers that works in conjunction with VS but I think
of it more as a traditional IDE, it can start new projects, build and run as
an exe and even deploy the exe. The idea is that Graphic Designers do the UI
using EID and Developers using VS do all the rest but neither needs to
modify the other's work product. EID shares project files VS.

Amazingly all this hasn't caused a problem and I think I've had only one
blip with EID.<knock on wood>

WinFX runtime will be available as a free download

Does anyone know if this will require .NET (v2 presumably) to be
installed? It seems to me like it would, but I can't find anywhere that
says one way or the other.

Cheers,
