I am hearing a lot of rumors/inuendo that is making me very nervous about
..NET.
Currently our company has a desktop application that we are *planning* to
take completely into .NET and I have been reviewing the obfuscators,
development, etc in order to organize everything properly.
However, I am hearing a lot about Microsoft dropping support for all Win9x
platforms for .NET.
I already know that it is not support on Win95, but people say that several
libraries don't work on Win98 and WinME also.
One such claim has to do with the FileSystemWatcher, which I see in the
documentation lists the approriate platforms.
Is MS planning on dropping some platform support, or is it only because
certain functions don't exist on certain platforms?
Also, is there a composite list somewhere of what specific
assemblies/classes work on which platforms, so I can make sure that we stay
away from them?
98% of our clients are Win95/98 and I have already forwarned them that the
95 clients would have to upgrade to at least 98, but preferably XP.
