the new and exciting stuff means that still one has to learn .NET.=0D

=3D=3D> Currently .NET provides facilities to work with legacy (Win32, MF=

Win32 will not exist by its own, i do not know what exactly will be the

=3D=3D> The point is that .NET supports implicitly & explicitly the theme=

 and all the new SDKs will be .NET only. Upcoming .NET 1.1 provides suppo=

for Oracle databases, SQL etc. For Windows CE & Pocker PC there is the
compact .net framework and even for cellular phones, etc. The output on
these devices is adjusted to the device specifications (there are device
profiles etc).=0D
