    This becomes an even bigger issue when dealing with commerical software and rolling out new products.

    Yes, I know it very well. My concern is that, since my school distributes software to other schools, if we use VB.NET we may have problems making our software run on some old machines which are equipped with Windows 98 or Me.

    Normally, when we distribute VB5/6 applications, we only provide the final users with the exacutable and it works fine. We don't use any OCX libraries because most of our programs must run in a LAN and we can't install them on each machine.

    The deployment of the .NET Framework will surely be a problem and I want my boss to be fully aware of it before deciding whether to upgrade or not.
