Hello,

does anybody knows if the Framework 3.0 was 100% compatible to the Framework
2.0? My Information was that the Framework 3.0 was the Framework 2.0 with
WinFX.

The Framework 3.0 only supports Win XP and Win Vista is not a suitable
platform for professional developers, although it was pre-installed on Win
Vista. Most of the applications must be run under many more OS like Win
2000, Win ME and sometimes additional under Win 98.

If it was 100% compatible, all applications could be programmed furthemore
under Framework 2.0 and Framework 3.0 is not needed, but under Win Vista the
pre-installed Framework 3.0 could be used.

Who knows some detailled information about the Framework 3.0?
