We're considering revamping the GUI to a Windows app that was written with Win32 (not MFC). We're considering: Windows Forms, MFC, Qt (from Trolltech), and now Aero. Have I got this correct? Is Aero a new GUI framework for Vista or simply the new laf. Will legacy MFC apps be able to take advantage of the new laf? Questions: 1. Is Aero a new GUI framework or not? 2. If yes, will it be backward compatible on older versions of Windows (i.e. will there be some runtime set of dlls that can be distributed to run on XP, etc.) 3. Are there any good "official" links on this? Thanks in advance, Mark mark_at_arguslab_dot_com |
