Re: Unmanaged Visual C++ 2005 questions

I suppose I misinterpreted Scoble's remarks in

> The parts of Avalon that Longhorn relies on are not managed, as far as I know.

Maybe I was assuming that Longhorn "relies on" more of Avalon than it
actually does, since (originally) Avalon, Indigo, and WinFS were declared the
"Three Pillars of Longhorn". Now, apparently, it's less of a "pillar" than
an attached ornament? So how much of Avalon is written in C/C++, and how
much is written in C#? Anyway, the part of Avalon that Longhorn **does**
rely on is unmanaged, it seems. And of course, as you say the code base of
Longhorn is itself unmanaged, since it's built starting with Windows 2003.
It will be a long time, if ever, before Windows is unmanaged code, I'm sure
we all agree. If that made sense, then Solaris would be written in Java.
