There will be a day when there is no more windows API as you know it today - everything will be managed. I could be wrong (nothing is set in stone), but it's not likely that I am.

It's not that far off - Longhorn should show it's head in the next year or so, and within a couple of years of that it'll have significant market share. There'll be a large installed base of legacy Windows systems for a long while, but that's not where the interesting, leading edge work will be done.

One can wait to start learning, choosing instead to be one of the complaining zealots clinging to the standards of today (which many seasoned engineers complained about being forced into from DOS - the horror!) Or one can leverage one's skills and ability to learn to stay ahead of the curve.

Those of us who go ahead and embrace the new technologies will evolve from the engineers of today into those of tomorrow. Those who wait will eventually either retire, eat thier words and pick up the new technology, or write interesting oddities that run on obsolete platforms.

Many people derive great joy and happiness by rejecting change. Others complain less and get paid more, leaving more time to fish, and more money with which to aquire better gear.

Eric F. Vincent

In the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment.

You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.
