Windows Analysts continue to trump the lack of applications being developed for Vista. Yet, as Randall Kennedy points out, "developers who write for Windows rarely target a specific version. Rather, they select a particular API framework and proceed from there." The supposed Vista 'app gap' is a straw man, Kennedy argues. "The real question should be: Why aren't developers leveraging the various iterations of the .Net framework?"

Most people doing gui apps are still on 2.0, because it will already be on every xp machine.


None of my friends or family have XP machines with either .NET 1.1 or 2.0 installed. There simply aren't any .NET apps that any of them feel compelled to use. I have never installed .NET for them, and they have never required it.

If they have kept up to date with their updates and have installed service packs, they have both 1.1 and 2.0 on their machines.
