I asked a similar question in another place, and I got this response.

"Microsoft says that Win32 will remain avaliable and largely unchanged 
except for minimal support for WinFS but Avalon(2D/3D Graphics, 
Movies/Audio Layer) will only be avaliable in Managed Code(.Net). 
Indigo(P2P, Web Services, Generally Networking/Internet stuff) is also 
primarily avaliable for .Net but I think it's also compatible with COM.

All the really good(And new) features in Longhorn are made IN .Net for 
.Net, third party development software may be compatible if the makers 
write a version of their language using .Net."

What do you think?  I would want to use Avalon, but it looks like I 
can't with euphoria unless eu is changed.
