I am afraid you are near to be correct. This way M$ is trying to bound
you to one damned platform. This dirty trick is the answer to Sun's dirty
tricks with Java.
Stay away from M$, it is perfectly dangerous. Whatever is touched by M$
soon become M$ :( Don't touch M$, too, let the Sun be sad example :(((
