.NET vs Win32

Hi

I'm evaluating the idea of migrating a win32 application to .NET.
Besides the advantages of .NET such as no installations + accessible
wherever there is an Internet connection, what other advantages are there?

I'm mostly concerned about speed! in that Win32 is faster. Are there any
documents or links which will help me take a good decision.

Regards
Brian
