Running .Net apps on different versions of Windows

I have a .Net application (VB, VS 2005, FX 2) running in more than one
country. As part of the product registration process, some information on the
computer is collected and sent to a web service; this includes the operating
system which is obtained using the My.Computer.Inf o.OSFullName function. For
some machines we get "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" and for others
"Microsoft Windows NT
5.1.2600 Service Pack 2". I understand these are essentially the same
product but the fact that they have a different set of environment variables
(at least for name) suggests that there are some differences. Is it safe to
assume that an app running on either of these installations of Windows will
behave the same?

I have been developing web-based applications for around 3 years, first using ASP, and more recently, ASP.NET. I am starting to wonder if web applications are really the way forward for software. And by 'software' I mean applications, (eg. word, excel) not web sites (eg. amazon.com). I am starting to think, with the .NET framework being shipped with new operating systems, and freely available online, that a better way forward is...

I'm confused about what I can use C# and VS.NET for. I have both Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual Studio .NET - which one do I use? If I want to build a basic VB app, I assume I can use the VB 6 component in Visual Studio 6.0. But If I want to build a C# application - does that mean I have to use VS.NET? And if I do write an application in C# does that mean it can only run on a Windows box with the .Net Framework? Do all C# apps require...

I was creating test projects using c# and was surprised that there seems to be only a form based windows applications available. Is it safe to assume that classic window applications that utilize a parent window with child windows can only be done in c++ and mfc and there's nothing else in .net that is meant to be used like that? It seems to be that c# should be used for either form based windows apps, console apps, and web apps (also...

I have an ASP.NET 1.4 app running on W2003 IIS6. I created a new site (e.g. on port 85) where I want to run ASP.NET 2.0. When I set Asp.Net to 2.O on new site properties, the old site would give me a "SERVER ERROR". When I reset the old site to 1.4 the new one does not work. Is there a way to run 2 versions side by side. Thanks in advance.

Here's my scenario: I have several ASP.NET applications built on .Net 1.1.x running on a Win2K3 IIS6.0 app/web server. Most of these are in-house, but one is purchased, meaning I do not have a full grasp of its internal architecture/functioning. I am currently looking to deploy an ASP.NET app built with v2.0 - hopefully to this same server. I have not yet installed the .NET 2.0 redistributabe on this server, but I'm concerned about...
