Is it the pedant in me? I just cannot stand these graphics. They seem inaccurate to me.
Ok, so REST builds on WPF, but the AJAX is just the latest version of ASP.NET AJAX which has been a separate download for over a year. LINQ doesn’t build on anything .NET 3.0 either!
Here is another picture which shows the same thing.
This just cannot be right. What parts of LINQ build on any of WPF, WCF, WF or CS? Which parts of ASP.NET build on those? None AFAIK. The same goes for the Add-in Framework.
It deceptive. But it is also a good example of how marketing slides are inaccurate.
Jay,
Two things – first, I’m with you but help me here and create the visual that accurately represents the frameworks and breaks them out into versions at the same time.
Second, do you think that we should break it out by version in one graphic or should we do 4 different graphics, .NET 1.0, .NET 2.0, .NET 3.0 and .NET 3.5?
