What part of Windows is written in .Net/WPF/Silverlight?
- 16 May 2016
user 曹一聪 on zhihu is curious how widely .Net is used within Windows components. Obviously an operating system component cannot depend on something that isn’t in the operating system, so nothing uses Silverlight in the desktop version of Windows. And because XP editions mostly did not ship with any .Net framework version, practically nothing from the XP days can use .Net. Only components newer than XP or rewrote after XP can use .Net, except those Windows Media Center and Tablet PC components that have .Net dependencies.
