Will Microsoft Longhorn Embrace .NET?

Word is That It .NET Won't Form the Core

"Longhorn won't be based on the .Net Framework," according to a recent ZD News report. The .NET web services platform will form the core of the Avalon windows presentation system and the Indigo Windows communication system, according to this report, but will not form the core of the OS itself.

.NET developers who are both in the know and willing to speak publicly about this reported revelation are scarce. However, given that .NET Developer's Journal readers are among the most savvy and courageous in the world, we welcome comments and insight from our visitors to this story!
