The Myth of .NET Purity, Reloaded | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
It's Spring of 2004. The Microsoft® .NET Framework is current included with Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003, and we know that many of the rich services in the upcoming release of Microsoft® Windows® code-named "Longhorn" will be built with managed APIs. Some folks have asked the question, "Is Longhorn managed?" implying that it would be a great thing if huge parts of the operating system were implemented in managed code. When they hear that not all of it is managed, they are somehow disappointed. Don Box put it simply: "It doesn't matter. What does matter is that ... the primary access mode ... is managed." Do I care if my device driver is written in managed code or in C? No, I care that it works, and works well. | ||

Some people thought that all of Longhorn would be managed? Who are these people? I have real estate to sell them :)
Sure, it's great that huge swaths of Longhorn are managed and that nearly all API access is .NET now, but surely even the most junior person must understand that there must be parts that are unmanaged. The exciting part is how well MSFT has managed to keep those unmanaged parts to a minimum. |
