For the past few months, there has been a somewhat heated debate over the future of .NET on the new Windows 8 platform. Folks were concerned about the possibility of having to abandon their 10+ years of investment and being forced to move towards other things like C++ or JavaScript. Don’t get me wrong, both C++ and JavaScript are amazing technologies, but for a hardcore .NET developer, they represent alien worlds. With the new release of Windows 8, the obvious was officially confirmed. Not only .NET is here to stay, but it gets even more important. On one hand, it gets tons of new features for server-side development. On the other hand, it remains a first class citizen on the client too. I’ll leave the server side for a future post and I’m going to focus in the reminder of this post on the client story.

The version of clr.dll (located in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319) indicates 4.0.30319.17020 (as opposed to the latest .NET 4.0 version which is 4.0.30319.225 if my memory serves me well). Read more: Ciprianjichici.ro
