As I understand all .NET 3.0 and Delphi compatibility talks are completely bullshit! This is just because .NET 3.0 (previously known as WinFX) is just a new version of common LIBRARY based on the same old CLR 2.0! So [in theory at least] you just need to download .NET 3.0 import it in Delphi and you are ready.

Writing device drivers in .NET managed code? :lol: :lol: :lol:
Can you prove this?

Powerdown and 3.0..? How could just some little additional windows messages send to application be tied to .NET 3.0? By saying that you state what only .NET 3.0 application will work correctly with this "Shutdown now" feature. Do you really feel people in MS are so stupid?
