Re: .NET Adoption Statistics

Thank you both for your responses. We're using 1.1 for most of our internal
web services, migrating to 2.0 as time permits. All our development is for
our own internal use. The WCF is where we could get the most benefit from
3.0, which is why I'd like to start us moving in that direction. But it
sounds like we should stay on 1.1. I'm a little confused about that. Why
is Microsoft marketing 3.0 so hard, yet recommending we stick with older
technologies?

Hello John,

Are your applications currently built upon .net framework 2.0? As for
.net
framework 3.0(originally codename winfx), I did have got that some
partners
and companeis have begun investigating on them. However, based on my
understanding, the .net framework 3.0 is mostly built for leverage of the
new features introducted in Vista/LongHorn server. for you application,
if
it is still targeting the current operating system, I don't think you
should be eager to migrate them to .net framework 3.0.

I haven't any definite statistical info regarding market share of
different
version of .net. However, I'm sure only a few Microsoft solution parnters
have begun researching on them, and most of them are still working with
some prototypes. You can get most latest information about .net framework
3.0 in the MSDN development center:

Hope this helps some.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
