I don't think you should buy idea of .NET from MS, at least for now and for 
the next 3 years or so.
While I run Linux/KDE almost exclusively, I still have Windows partition for 
games (Heroes of MM, Diablo II, and some other relaxation stuff).
And that Windows is Win 98, not Win NT / Win 2000 or latest-greatest Win XP.
Reviewing statistics for web vistors on major sites, I see that Win95/98 
platform still dominates.

Final point: it's better to hack using win32 and do not count .Net stuff 
seriously in nearest future.
