Thanks. So .NET 3.5 will install side by side with older frameworks
installed on the server?

If my network guy installs the 3.5 FW, will the older apps still run ok?

Yes.

Is 3.5 fully backwards compatible with 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 ASP.NET web apps?

That's not quite how it works. Installing .NET 3.5 doesn't overwrite or
uninstall the previous versions - they all co-exist quite happily, as you
will be able to tell from the folder structure.

The older apps won't care about any other version of the framework than
the one for which they were compiled...
