End of the End For Third Party Components and CLR1.x - No More CLR1.x versions for Infragistics NetAdvantage

FAQ:Final release of CLR 1.x version of NetAdvantage for .NET

"In the 2007 Volume 1 release, Infragistics has released new features for the NetAdvantage for .NET product for both the CLR 1.x and CLR 2.0 versions. The 2007 Volume 1 release is the final release that our NetAdvantage for .NET product will be compiled against .NET Frameworks 1.0 and 1.1. Developer Support will continue to be available for the CLR 1.x version of the product, and product maintenance is available for the published lifecycle of release date + expected date of 3 future releases (roughly one year from release date). ..."

I've been seeing this from smaller component companies, the focusing on CLR2+, but seeing a major playing like Infragistics drop further development for CLR1.x, IMHO is a milestone. If they are not doing CLR1.x anymore, then what's the likelihood that others will?

Oh I know it's time and I understand the move. Frankly I'm happy and impressed that they kept rolling CLR1.x stuff as long as they have.

With no official Vista support for VS2003-, and the drying up of third part component support, CLR1.x app development days are numbered (LOL.. "Gee Greg, do dugh?"  I have a gift for the obvious don't I?  ;)
