Dropping .NET

• Visual Studio 2005, the ".NET" aspect has been
  dropped from the product name, to reflect the

  Windows XP and Windows Server 2003) are built
  entirely on the now well-established .NET
  software framework

  your code during debugging, back up the code
  instruction pointer if you want, and re-execute
  lines of code with the modified content.

  bugs almost any code modification will work.
