An extra surprise greeted Microsoft Office2003 Testers as they received their Beta 2 Kits over the last few days, one which most wouldn't even have noticed. Included on the Outlook2003 with Business Contact Manager is Microsoft .NET Framework v1.1.4322 Dated: 12/12/02.

Yet according to the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Final Beta Download Page, the latest publicly available is v1.1 Dated: 10/2/2002
    "We will release the .NET Framework 1.1 to the manufacturer simultaneously with Microsoft Windows Server 2003.

    The .NET Framework 1.1 Beta features improved scalability and performance; support for mobile device development with the ASP.NET mobile controls (formerly the Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit); support for Internet Protocol version 6; and classes in ADO.NET for native communication with Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) and Oracle databases. It also enables the use of code access security to further lock down and isolate ASP.NET applications. For more information, read the .NET Framework 1.1 Beta Overview".
It appears with the continued delays to the release of Windows Server Family 2003, the .Net Framework Final has been held-up too.

If you were a programmer, who was programming on .NET waiting for a path to Mobile You'd be just as excited as she/he was. If he/she's not a programmer, then i can't see why she/he's so happy either.

I've just finished uninstalling this bugger; programs made with it are slower than java apps.

The only way you can make apps that utilize the 1.1 Framework is by using Visual Studio 2003. If you don't have that (at least the Beta) then there is no point.

not true, both the .net framework, c# compiler and lots of documentation on how to develop is downloadable from the net without any cost

vs.net 2003 is still the best way, no doubt about that
