#168039 - Microsoft's .NET Micro Framework
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Grant Beattie said:
hopefully one day you can explain this:

"USBizi-DevSys™ is the smallest (2.2x2.2 inches) and lowest cost development system for Microsoft's .NET Micro Framework."

What do you want explaining?

The ".net Framework" is Microsoft's "managed" thingy for code execution on a "virtual machine".
A bit like Java.
It means that the code doesn't need to worry about the trifling details of the system it's actually running on - all it sees is its cosy little .net world.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework

The .net micro Framework is a cut-down version for running on "small" (sic) embedded systems - although, clearly, Microsoft's idea of what constitutes "small" is somewhat different to that of most people here...

Richard would love it!
(not!)

See: http://www.microsoft.com/netmf/default.mspx

How long the USBizi-DevSys remains the "smallest" and the "lowest cost" remains to be seen...
