Re: .NET Framework 3.5

OK. THen explain why my boss, who bought his computer this year, required me to install .NET Framework 3.0 (re-distributable) on his machine before my application would work, but worked fine once I installed it? If it is pre-installed, why would I have to do this?

Can the 3.5 version of .NET Framework (currently Beta 2) be installed on pre-Vista machines? Or is it Vista-only?

And, why doesn't .NET Framework come pre-installed with the operating system? I think one of the main reasons people will reject such software is having to install something first. I understand it might need upgrading, but why do Windows machines come without any .NET Framework (or am I wrong about this)?

It seems that .NET Framework should come with any Window OS, and that it

It does (all versions since .NET was released).

should auto-upgrade ala Windoes Update. It seems antiquated to require the

It does.

end-user to install something that is inert unless used, and is the basis of all managed software written using VS!

Put simply, why isn't managed code supported by Windows NATIVELY?

MS Research has a purely managed kernel (Singularity) under development, you can read about it on their website http://research.microsoft.com/os/singularity/.

I like a lot of the ideas, you'll actually see performance improvements based on static type checking instead of runtime checks. I'm not convinced that the CLR equivalent layer is worthwhile, that may hurt performance, but using static type analysis to enable high-performance message-passing IPC should be a real hit.
