Beta 1 supports Windows 2000, NT4 SP6a, Windows Me and Windows 98 for development. The runtime is supported on Windows 95. Microsoft are due to release a new version of Windows in a similar timeframe to the .NET runtime. It is codenamed ‘Whistler’ and is largely an incremental update to Windows 2000, with an emphasis on GUI changes. Microsoft will market this new OS as ‘.NET-enabled’, but apparently it is not tied to the release of the .NET runtime. If the .NET runtime is ready in time it will be included with Whistler. If the .NET runtime is not ready, Whistler will ship without it.
