Follow up question.

[Robert]

When all is said and done, any clue as to what the .NET CLR will entail.
Meaning, for the non-devlopers, how easy/common will it be for users to have
the ability to run these applications.

Reason I ask is as a web developer it would be wonderfull to be able to use
ONE language for all aspects of development. Currently, we use ASP(VBScript)
server side. VB for COM and VB/VC++ for any client side apps we need to give
to our customers. We do not like distrubuting apps writtin in VB due to the
extra requirments needed to run them. Though, as many are aware there is a
high turnover ratio in the Web World and trying to always have developers
capable of writing and maintaining C++ as well as being able qualified to do
ASP is next to immposible.
Regards,
Robert

Microsoft has not discussed publicly yet its distribution methods. I would
assume that Microsoft will make an effort to get the .NET CLR everywhere and
make it very easy for developers to deploy .NET/CLR apps, but I don't know
the answer to this question, and I'm not sure anyone else who hasn't signed
an NDA knows either.

It will probably be included in future Windows versions, or that's how it
seems now. Maybe included with a future IE version too, but I guess it would
be optional unless IE itself was rewritten using it.
