Re: [Dev-C++] Longhorn API

[Asko K. <ask...@sc...>]

Maybe off the topic but..  Microsoft recently bought Virtual PC from 
Connectix (the software that makes Win32 run in a 'sandbox' on a Mac). 
I wonder if they need "protection from themselves", ability to emulate 
old Win32 on whatever-state-of-the-art (=.net?) system they want to 
build from scratch.

Basically, this is exactly what OS X does with MacOS classic mode. 
Nothing new under the sun... ;)

P.S. They probably even steal the name and call their new one "OS Y" or 
something.. Or "OS XP"?  >:P
