Hi,

What is the status on the "standardization" (outside MS) of the BCLs?

Is everything under the System namespace going to be "standard" and
everything under the Microsoft namespace custom per MS specific and in
general Vendor.* namespaces for vendor specific classes.

If WinForms etc planned to be part of this "standard" or will it be not
very portable and therefore should belong under the Microsoft.* namespace?

Thanks

I think that's the intention, yes.

The guys at Mono (an "effort to create an open source implementation of the
.NET Development Framework") has pondered this and come to the conclusion
that winforms is indeed portable, but will still provide another GUI API too.
