From .NET Undocumented:


“The CLR, of course, will be a machine-wide platform assembly. In a break from the present scheme, Longhorn will no longer support multiple CLRs. Every managed application will be forced to use the latest version of the CLR on the system.”


Not sure what to think about this, other than it sounds like this will become a major PITA.
