AFAIK, official .NET support for Win2k was scrapped a while ago (IIRC, it stopped at version 2.0). Now, I already wrote (ages ago) libraries in C++ that allow me to accomplish the end result (i.e., finish this project) ju...

I have noticed some developers picking up new skills and moving from one platform to the other? How do they do it?
