Bye bye WinFX, Hello .NET Framework 3.0!
Somasegar, Corporate Vice President of Microsof's Developer Division, has announced that the
WinFX brand has been killed! You should now talk about "
.NET Framework 3.0" instead when you refer to the package that contains WPF (
Windows Presentation Foundation - Avalon), WCF (
Windows Communication Foundation - Indigo), WF (Workflow Foundation -
Windows Workflow Foundation - Winoe), WCS (
Windows CardSpace - InfoCard).
The
.NET Framework
3.0 runs on the
.NET CLR
2.0.
What will the framework delivered as part of the Orcas wave be called? .NET Framework 3.5? .NET Framework
4.0? And it will contain C#
3.0 and VB.NET
9.0...
Clear as mud, isn't it? Microsoft's marketing likes to play funny games...
