"Free" PPC with Compact .NET

by **Dan East** » Mar 22, 2003 @ 5:15am

Microsoft has announced a free Viewsonic V37 to developers that sign up for Visual Studio.NET 2003. Bill Gates also made announcements about the .NET Compact Framework. I don't know how much Visual Studio.NET costs, but it's probably several hundred dollars.

*cough* $1100

for the pro version... unless you're upgrading

the enterprise editions are 1800 and 2400

I am kind of ambivalent about the whole .net thing, particularly the JIT compiler. Maybe if you could prejit your functions before executing them...

I think .net works by having machine-independant bytecode, which the JIT compiler then converts to more machine-dependant bitcode the first time it is run after installation on a system. So, first-run it has a slight startup delay, but after that is much faster since a bunch of optimisations have been made for that particular system.

That's the idea, anyway.

Hey Damian, but two-three that's a lot already

Besides there are at least 4 different implementations of .NET that run on different OSes.
And you're not ignorant, nobody knows the definite answer to this question anyway
