Some *very important thing* many of you may not know. .NET is not a
Windows API. Windows & .NET will *coexist* for some time. As the time
passes .NET will be growing indepedently and coexisting with Windows.
The last thing about this coexistence that i have heared, is it will
continuw till "Blackcomb" which would be the last Windows version! I do
not know if this coexistence has been extended in the future, but
Windows & .NET will not coexist forever!

.NET is a separate engine and provides graphics etc APIs.
