[Dev-C++] Some Longhorn programming info

[Ioannis V. <no...@ho...>]

As i have said a few days ago, Longhorn will provide only a managed API
(.NET). Here is some more info from a non-programming newsletter:

- New applications and activity centers based on Longhorn's Avalon
API, which appears to be an XML-based successor to the Win32 API that
current Windows applications use. An example of this new type of
application is Display Properties, which presents a vastly different
UI from today's simple dialog boxes. In the Longhorn alpha screenshots
I've seen, Display Properties is a single-window, task-based
application that's similar to XP's User Accounts application. Another
example of this type of application is My Hardware, which features a
collapsible and graphic view of your PC's hardware divided into
categories such as Audio Devices and Input Devices.
