[vorbis] Visual Studio .NET

[HJ]

When you use an open-source project, the closest you get to anything
'official' IS the source-code in my opinion. Binaries of any
open-source projects are convenience measures, and generally don't
mean anything in the way of speed/reliability/etc.; it honestly
doesn't matter who compiled it or what on. That's part of the beauty
of it all, is that you get the exact same thing no matter who builds
it.
In my opinion, just nab the src and build it. If that's what you
gotta do then that's what you gotta do. :)

The BIG test is having VS6-based apps (and so on) using a .Net dll.
Now THAT test will be interesting.

<p>As far as .Net, I'm actually thinking about migrating. I've spoken
with a dev-friend of mine (whom just happens to be a debugger at
Microsoft) and she loves it too. They finally merged all the tools
into 1 and built a standard object-based API which can be used by
all the languages you can write in. 

I think Microsoft took *ONE* step in the right direction.
The ONLY problem I've found with it really is that applications
built on .Net initial release tend to crash with the SP1 runtimes
(the difference of which was like a day to 48 hours), and the
runtimes are rather big (but broadband users will laugh at us
slowbies). Beyond the trouble of getting it, it seems just fine.

<p>Conclusion:
Just nab a source, any source, and ramp it up! :)

Cheers, and wallow in the joys of open-source!
