Yes, but programs created for windows will run standalone on all
windows platforms.

C# not.

Unless you've got Vista or Win2K, of course...

But many people have WinXP right now and will continue for a long
time.

But interesting view. Never thought about this argument. But... For C?
Could be that some lib needs patching... I also think my apps are more
hurt able then the framework. :)

Not sure what you mean here.

I mean that the standard user will be not aware that the .net
framework needs updating. If he doesn`t use windows update he won`t
get a fixed version.

All programmms can have security problems. Therefore them need
updates.

If you write in C you will probably use external sources aswell too.
Those can include security holes. As a developer you must relay on
news so or so and update your apps then.

That C# compiled sources (.exe) need that .net framework to run is one
of the biggest disadvantage of C# imho. Guess for that reason no
"professional developers" like devs for games/antivirus and so on
don`t use .net right now.

A native compiler would be just awesome. So, if someone has used
please give feedback.

However, this was an interesting point but not the question. There is
also no such alternative compiler?

Not that I'm aware of. Personally I've never been a fan of it as an
idea.
Thanks for telling me.
