How come .net won't work with ME, 98, 0r 95?
Cause we are well past 1995, 1998, and 2000... Just kidding, my best bet would be IIS for one, none of these OS's have IIS and w/out that you cant do web services, which is one of the main focus points of .NET. I also think alot of the IDE and so on is working of the 2K or XP kernal (which is NT i believe). Other then that, i dont know....
.Net (the platform) runs on 98, ME, NT4 (Sp6a), 2K, and XP
VS.Net only runs on NT based system (probably because of the architecture.)
.Net doesn't run on 95 because MS no longer supports 95 and they gave fair warning about it for the past 2 or 3 years.
I thought the reason was Bill Gate$ doesn't have enuff money.
For anyone who is intereasted the .NET framework will install and you can compile from the comandline in 98.
I thought it was just the Beta that wouldn't work on those OSs, the final product will (I believe).
From what I heard the final will run on '98 and Me. You can compile and write all the code you want, but you cant run any of the compiled code.
the runtime will work on all currently supported OS's, the IDE will only work on those based on the NT kernel, and as KingDavid pointed out, there is a command line compiler that is included with the .Net platform, so technically all OS's will be able to create .Net programs, it's just that some will have to use Notepad for their creation (until someone builds an IDE, which most likely will happen.)
.NET Programs will work on 98 and ME. I think you have to install a patch on the component CD.
