.NET is better. It is the next step in the Win GUI evolution process.
.NET is stable and reliable. Also .NET provides more stuff than Win32
enabling Web services. For example it provides Web form classes.

Something very important. The next Windows version codenamed "Longhorn"
will provide *only* managed .NET APIs. MS is committed to provide .NET
APIs for all its products. Take a look at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/productinfo/roadmap.asp


All development tools companies are preparing .NET releases for their
products.

I forgot to answer to the last question. .NET is a framework not a
language! That is you use .NET API from inside your C++ programs.

I don't understand really fine Ioannis. Does this mean that billions of apps 
written using the standard Win32 API (This including those developped with MFC) 
will no longer work with Longhorn ?

As far as I can read in the MSDN article, it does not tell that. They only mean 
that future Visual studios release will not support Win32 anymore.

Can you be more precise about this ?

Kind regards

I can't be more precise about this since this is what i have seen. MS
says that Longhorn will provide only managed apis (at least in some
areas?). What we can safely assume from this is that at least no further
Win32/MFC etc development will occur.

Did I miss something.

From the M$ link, I found the following information:

Unless Win-Longhorn continues to run Win32 applications in an efficient
way, the stock prices for computer manufacturers will go sky-rocket at the
Longhorn roll-out...
