I migrated a number of large services and desktop apps from .Net 1 to 2 and it required unremarkable effort. Some API differences that were well documented. The notion it required you to throw away all your code and change OS is simply absurd.

I completely agree, when I read that part it virtually invalidated everything else specious that was said, that is simply nonsense.

As the other poster said, it was a compatibility issue from what I recall but apparently Microsoft told everyone to forget that and thus it was so.
