General knowledge

hi,

i want to build my general knowledge. first of all:

the earliest versions of windows were dos based. the next load where nt
based. windows xp, however, doesn't go into any of those categories. c#
cannot write os's but it can write lots of other stuff. i could write
internet explorere or notepad. where they writen in c# for win xp? and what
is win xp based on e.g. dos or kernel?

secondly:

..dll files are class libraries. i have seen people referring to them as
standard DLLs. this sounds to me as if dll stands for something. what?

hi,

thanks. i thought it would be C++ but it could be that they wrote it all in
c# because microsoft created it after all
