I have found over the past 20+ years that programming is a life-long learning process. Most people never get to the point where they can say "I know everything there is to know about xxx language". ...

Neither Fedora nor Ubuntu work correctly on 64-bit computers; I mean the os itself is ok but they have problems with sound and playing movies. Vista works great right out of the box with no tweaking...

.NET is not a programming language. I'm not quite sure just what it is but its part of MS-Windows os. Maybe you mean c++/CLR??

That's a terrible idea:icon_eek: Why not use VC++ 2008 Express, which supports c++ a lot better than that old vc++ 6.0 compiler.

Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm)

google around and you will find them. For example, read this article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Installation_%28computer_programs%29), which gives several installation programs.

In think you are talking about an installation program such as InstallShield, or possibly a compression program such as WinZip and PkZip (but they will not run a program after the files are copied),

Those programs are written with embedded compilers, which do not compile with C standards. There are a whole host of exceptions to the standards for compilers that target embedded systems. AFAIK no...

Are you going to pre-order Windows 7? I have and got the Pro edition because it contains XP compatibility mode.

I'm using 64-bit Vista, but wish I was using XP so that I could play my favorite game Diablo LOD. It won't play on Vista. I have a copy of 64-bit XP but had to uninstall it because of lack of device...

I guess its time for you to toss what you've done into the bit bucket and do it again the right way.

moved -- this thread is not an Introduction, like "Howdy folks, my name is Darrel and I'm happy to be here!". Nope. This thread seems to be a bitching session.

No I can't. They aren't related, other than being .net. AFAIK asp.net is used to build web servers, the other two are used to build application programs.
