That's why I wanted to know. Win32 root will continue to be supported. At least.

An emulation of Win32 base API through .NET ?

What does MS so big is that there are zillions of applications available for 
their system, for every need. If now, Microsoft decides to get rid of the past 
and make a *brand new* system without any support for older applications (From 
3.0 to XP !!!), they will smash down their empire and restart from ground zero. 
I cannot believe a word of that.

What I understand from the MSDN article, is that there won't be any way in 
further Longhorn release of VC++ to write and compile proggies with only MFC or 
Win32 API.
