    Developing Windows application using .NET?

    Wouldn't the fact that you need to deploy your .NET application with a
    giant 23mb framework rule it out of being used for serious commercial
    applications, except maybe those apps that will be huge in size anyway?

      Not really since the framework is shared with many other applications.
      People also seem to make commercial software with the directx
      redistributable s.

      Most people offer two versions of download, one with and one without the
      framework.

      Cheers,

      Greg

          To add to the previous post.. .NET framework is fast becoming
          ubiqitious in most of the windows machines, either through direct
          download or windows updates.. From the next version of windows.. you do
          not have to worry about the existence of the framework at all...

              Vista includes it by default?

                  You _will_ have to worry, because new versions of framework will be
                  released more often than new Windows versions. ;)

                      Yes. Vista will come with .Net Framework 3.0.

                          Yes, but presumably these will always be included with automatic
                          updates as a part of the OS rather than an *optional* feature. I have
                          not verified this as fact, however.
