We never assume internet connectivity in disaster recovery, so that comment has me curious to the scenario you are considering...

With laptop computers less than $600, you might look at the cost of preconfigured, company supplied computers versus the development cost. For small companies, I think you will find the hardware is cheaper.

Kerry,

A good, but unfortunate question. Since the framework is not necessarily
already on their machines, they would have to download it. Most of these
people are not very adventurous users. Also, this is part of a Disaster
Recovery scenario, so people are likely not to be in the best of moods should
they need it.

I'd like to make this as painless (not for me of course) as possible.

Art,

Why would home users needing the .Net framework be a problem? Or do some
users use non-Windows machines at home?
