As long as you stick to VB.NET and the .NET Framework (eg if you didn't use any Activex controls), your application should run on any platform with the .NET Framework installed.
Microsoft is offering the .NET framework in the windows update, so I think it will quickly find its way to most users.

That means this is not a good time for the development of .NET based application... because most of the audience is still stuck with Windows 98 and ME...

This is probably the good time for learning and get the hang of .NET ... isnt' it?

A .NET application will run on win98 or win me as well, as long as the .NET framework is installed. The .NET framework is available for win98 and me.

still you cannot develop applications and make them available for internet... people won't really appreciate it...

If you are developing a software for a specific client then its fine... but won't work on the internet i believe!!

ASP.net will run quite happily as an internet page and be viewable by non-framework PCs.

We are just deploying our first vb.net app, and yes the clients are going to be installing framework... just the way it is. Framework is going to catch on believe me .... it is absolutely awesome....


Stopping now before l launch into a full scale marketing push for .net web services.....
