Analysis of .NET Use in Longhorn and Vista 479
smallstepforman writes "In a classic example of "Do as I say, not as I do", Richard Grimes analyses the ratio of native to managed code in Microsoft's upcoming Vista Operating System. According to the analysis at Microsoft Vista and .NET, "Microsoft appears to have concentrated their development effort in Vista on native code development. Vista has no services implemented in .NET and Windows Explorer does not host the runtime, which means that the Vista desktop shell is not based on the .NET runtime. The only conclusion that can be made from these results is that between PDC 2003 and the release of Vista Beta 1 Microsoft has decided that it is better to use native code for the operating system, than to use the .NET framework.""

I used to work with a couple of Lisp developers, and their productivity was probably 10 times mine.

Wait. Did you just say that notepad, mspaint, explorer, etc. work "just fine"?! Head. Spinning. Must. Lay. Down.
