.NET 3.0 support for Windows 2000?Does anyone know if there is any planned support for .NET 3.0 on windows
2000? It seems like a major miscalculation not to support win2K - there is still a huge install base, and it will be a while before there are enough 3.0 applications to make it compelling to switch to a later OS - in the meantime adoption is likely to be slower because of the lack of support. We are in the process of determining an archiceture for a major new project, and it looks like we will have to use WSE 3.0 instead of WCF (and .NET 3.0), which is VERY frustrating. Another question - any idea why it is is not supported? As far as I can tell the additional net APIs are aimed squarely at Vista, so
they won't work on W2K or XP. Mike Ober.

..NET 3.0 is supported from XP onwards - so it's not Vista only. Best regards, Henning Krause Show quote "Michael D.

The Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 (formerly WinFX), is the new managed code programming model for Windows. It combines the power of the .NET Framework 2.0 with four new technologies: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), and Windows CardSpace (WCS, formerly "InfoCard"). Use the .NET Framework 3.0 today to build applications that have visually compelling user experiences, seamless communication across technology boundaries, the ability to support a wide range of business processes, and an easier way to manage your personal information online. Now the same great WinFX technology you know and love has a new name that identifies it for exactly what it is - the next version of Microsoft's development framework. This change does not affect the release schedule of the .NET Framework 3.0 or the technologies included as a part of the package. (The following is my opinion) Now we are in 2007. Windows 2000 shipped several years ago. In computer age is long time ago, anyway you can for sure use .NET 2.0, that sould run even in Windows 98 SE. I agree with you that is a difficult world :-) I hope this helps.  |
