No any .NET in Microsoft's new .NET Vista !
Surprisingly or not?Microsoft appears to have concentrated their development effort in Vista on native code development. In contrast to PDC03LH, Vista has no services implemented in .NET and Windows Explorer does not host the runtime, which means that the Vista desktop shell is not based on the .NET runtime. The only conclusion that can be made from these results is that between PDC 2003 and the release of Vista Beta 1 Microsoft has decided that it is better to use native code for the operating system, than to use the .NET framework.
However, requesting some 800MB DRAM for idle run, Vista has some new requests on hardware: There is as a nice remedy with a new Vista hardware rating system that will tell you Will your PC keep pace with Vista?
Luckily, new Intel's architecture (Merom, Conroe, Woodrest) will be ready in time, like it was the case
earlier (if someone remebers 486 processor announced immediately after 386), to help if your hardware fail this test above. But, double crossed Intel Merom will not initially support 64bit too, so it will work really fluently with no .NET Vista based on .NET !!. WITH SUCH A MODERATE HARDWARE REQUESTS, MEROM IS A MUST THAT WILL PASS ALL VISTA HARDWARE TESTS ABOVE, WIDELY SHOWING ITSELF AS A MIRACLE OF VISTA COMPATIBILITY AND STABILITY. OF COURSE, ALL THE .NET NEWS, THAT VISTA WILL OFFER JUST AROUND THE CORNER (AFTER ITS ANNOUNCEMENT IN OCTOBER), WOULD BE IN THE VISTA NEXT SERVICE PACK BY MID OF 2007. Like a DirectX 10 support for example. Beside, it is a bit hard to run in the very beginning extreme low power consumption Merom notebook with Vista on top of it, that requires 800MB DRAM only to run it idle !?!. Luckily squared, this time we have ready Linux and AMD64 too.
Who is schizophrenic? Intel's "monopoly" is at an end Schizophrenic John Nash, the Nobel laureate, noted that duopolies create production to maximise their profits with each of the firms adjusting to the other's strategy.
Intel and Microsoft plan to maximize their profits again, regardless of The Inq's above story.

Leading notebook vendors slash orders with Intel due to weak demand, say sources.
In addition, the planned year-end launch of Microsoft’s Vista OS is also a concern as consumers are worried that the notebooks they buy now might not be able to run with the 64-bit enabled Vista OS, the sources stated.
