Re: .NET 3.0 support for Windows 2000?

It isn't just .NET 3.0 that MS won't support on W2K. MS has a W2K patch for
the changes to Daylight Savings Time but you have to have a support contract
to get it. They aren't planning to release it via their update services.
MS is attempting to kill W2K.

Does anyone know if there is any planned support for .NET 3.0 on windows
2000?

It seems like a major miscalculation not to support win2K - there is
still a
huge install base, and it will be a while before there are enough 3.0
applications to make it compelling to switch to a later OS - in the
meantime
adoption is likely to be slower because of the lack of support. We are
in
the process of determining an archiceture for a major new project, and it
looks like we will have to use WSE 3.0 instead of WCF (and .NET 3.0),
which
is VERY frustrating.

Another question - any idea why it is is not supported?

.Net 3.0 is only supported on operating systems from this century.
