The Framework is not 100MB. The install is 25MB and once installed they're
about 65 MB I believe.

Our figures indicate that our developer productivity has gone up by 50%
since switching to .NET. Given an average developer salary of 25,000 South
African Rands and 4 developers that indicates a one-year saving of R600,000.
No contest as far as I'm concerned.
