Changes from VS 6 to VS NET 2003

exactly don't know which are the advantages of using MSIL/.NET language ? since needs like 30 MB of libraries for .net framework crap ... program runs veryyyy slow and sure they takes more resources and ram...they believe in this way they will prevent cracker to reverse it??? 1 of the reasons.. what others they have? microsoft should implement new programming method using MASM .... short exes, very fast and winall working...

My 1 Cent left ..

@Crk:
Using the same reasoning, why Java, why C++, why C, why Macros in assembler, why not link the programs yourself, the linker adds 'bloat' too ?

I couldn't resists posting, but honestly you should really research before posting comments like that. You can do the hero programming on your own, but there are people who work in groups, on large scale projects, and need to deliver something that works and fast.

The fact that it runs inside an interpreter has more to do with having a framework that provides good memory management, built-in security, rapid development, portability than anti-reverse engineering. In fact, it has nothing to do with anti-reverse engineering since a lot of structures from the source code have to be left inside the .net code to run correctly.
