Soma posted in his blog how we plan to produce an updated version of the .NET Framework that maintains compatibility. This particular subject always draws a lot of passionate opinions. I've heard the opinions from the polaren-USCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonz/archive/2006/05/21/603544.aspx#603608Mon, 22 May 2006 10:04:14 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:603608Kent BoogaartYou definitely need to &quot;cut clean&quot; at some stage. I feel very strongly about this, having experienced the plethora of deprecated crap in the Java APIs. <br> <br>I would have prefered the major version number to indicate a break in backwards compatibility. ie. 2.0 is not backwards compatible with 1.1, but 1.1 is backwards compatible with 1.0. Oh well, too late for that then :) <br> <br>Whatever MS do, I sure hope they do not maintain backwards compatibility to the detriment of the platform as a whole, a la Java. <br> <br>Kenthttp://blogs.msdn.com/jasonz/archive/2006/05/21/603544.aspx#603755Mon, 22 May 2006 16:17:01 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:603755Andrew Connell [MVP MCMS]http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonz/archive/2006/05/21/603544.aspx#624518Sat, 10 Jun 2006 02:32:04 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:624518Jack Gudenkauf (JackG) WebLogOn two life altering occasions I heard that phrase spoken, and writing it down still makes me weak in...http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonz/archive/2006/05/21/603544.aspx#624631Sat, 10 Jun 2006 04:36:14 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:624631Jason Zander's WebLogSoma announced today that WinFX is being renamed to .NET Framework 3.0 to help out with developer confusion.&amp;amp;nbsp;...http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonz/archive/2006/05/21/603544.aspx#625770Sun, 11 Jun 2006 01:52:03 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:625770Fduch&quot;we plan to produce an updated version of the .NET Framework &quot; <br> <br>What's so UPDATED in it?http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonz/archive/2006/05/21/603544.aspx#630068Wed, 14 Jun 2006 01:01:33 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:630068Jason Zander's WebLogWow, it is great to see the level of passion around the .NET Framework!&amp;amp;nbsp; I wanted to add some additional...http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonz/archive/2006/05/21/603544.aspx#4595163Mon, 27 Aug 2007 21:01:14 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:4595163.NET: .NET 3.5 Explained… Simply « TECH NOTES<p>PingBack from <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://blackfalconsoftware.wordpress.com/2007/08/27/net-net-35-explained-simply/">http://blackfalconsoftware.wordpress.com/2007/08/27/net-net-35-explained-simply/</a></p> http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonz/archive/2006/05/21/603544.aspx#5249713Wed, 03 Oct 2007 02:50:11 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:5249713Krzysztof Cwalina<p>Two months ago, Scott blogged about the multi-targeting support in Visual Studio 2008 .
