Microsoft wants win32 to be dead. Microsoft says their contribution of bugs to win32 is made by design.

hello,

a few years ago I started learning C#/.net. I noticed that it wasn't
very fast but it was easy to learn and fast to program. But recently I
saw some tests which proced .NET to be rather slow compared to native
windows programming.

What I'm asking is:
1) is it worth it to learn win32 programming anymore?
2) is .NET definitely the future of Windows programming? I heard that
this is going to be the main programming platform in Vista

Thank you


.
