Okay, I am missing something in the .NET hype. Win16 was definitely off
to graveyard albeit slowly when win32 appeared. What I don't see though
is how .NET is in equivalent position for win32. What about applications that
are standalone on the PC or "high-performance" focussed? .NET doesn't in
my reading stand to replace win32 but seems to be something living on
top of win32 (or win64!). Is there now a proposal that .NET replaces
win32 eventually??
