The thing that there is no Service Pack for .NET 1.1 (Only bunch of
Hotfixes) or VS but we already have Whidbey.
I wish they (Microsoft) would not move that fast and concentrate on more
stable environment.
Because reality is that i barely had time to learn VS 2003 and there is a
new one coming out.

1.1 is a PATCH for 1.0, not a new version really. It was to fix
problems/tweaks in 1.0.
2.0 is the new version.
Also, 1.0 came out a while ago. 2.0 will have a large number of new,
additional, features that many us do want.... :}

 

[TIMA]

How much is the upgrade going to cost?

That has not been decided yet, but it is a major upgrade so I'd think it
won't be dirt cheap like version 1.1 was.
The release is still a long way off. There is no firm release date, but
it's probably going to be at least a year if not two.

is it a whole 'nother 180 degrees from asp?

1.1 is a PATCH for 1.0, not a new version really. It was to fix
problems/tweaks in 1.0.
2.0 is the new version.
Also, 1.0 came out a while ago. 2.0 will have a large number of new,
additional, features that many us do want.... :}

Microsoft has not made an official announcement on the release dates yet, so
they are free to change their mind at any point.
But I believe the current plan is for Microsoft to release Whidbey,
Longhorn, and Yukon all at the same time.
