[windev] Visual Studio .Net

[Mark McGinty]

Well... If you look at the .net components using the dependency viewer
you'll find that they link to/call Win32 API functions in User32.dll,
kernel32.dll, GDI32.dll, et al... Quick spot check, regcode.dll in the .net
tree references most if not all of the Reg[...] set of functions in
advapi32.dll.  Coincidence? Not bloody likely.  :-)

Whether a valid inference might be drawn to substantiate such a simplistic
description of the entire framework, from observations like mine above...
I'd say yes, probably, it's definitely more than just a wrapper, but what
wrapper isn't?  It definitely calls into Win32, ergo, a wrapper, right?

So I'm going to go with 'yes', though by no means do I intend to imply I am
qualified to answer that question -- it's just an opinion.  :-)
