I am also IT, so I have been installing .net on all the machines preparing
for the flood of .NET programs coming oit.

The big problem is that it is the boss of other companies we try to sell our
software too.
It is the IT form those companies that complain. And in my opinion they
should not, since it is redicilious simple to install.

So,do people here have good arguments that could convince these people to
start installing .NET on all machines default?
One good point would that XP SP2 contains the .NET framework default, but so
far it is not.

Yes just like that. In reality this means that I will need 7 months to
redesign the proram in VC++ unmanaged code with mfc to recreate the same
program. :-(
I would prefer to add 7 times more functionality to this program in that
same time period.
