"I am curious about these memory leaks that are popping up in Longhorn. I was under the impression that the Longhorn API was going to be a superset of the .NET, and that things like memory leaks aren't supposed to happen in .NET managed code. Please correct me if I'm worng."
Userspace is managed. Kernelspace is still unmanaged in Longhorn. Also, in the current leaked builds and the PDC build, most of the applications and the shell is still unmanaged.
"I would also like to know if the existing code like Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer etc. will be .NET managed code. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure why they wouldn't be at this stage in the game. Again, please correct me if I'm worng."
These are supposed to be upgraded to managed equivalents. Currently, they are still unmanaged.
