When someone can give me an explanations to those points, maybe I'll
reconsider.


The .Net framework is a collection of DLL files that are the 'runtime'
components, and needed to run applications that the developers have
chosen to create using these libraries.

To a non-programmer, I can see what the question is. What .Net is is a
brand new set of libraries, all closely designed to all interact properly
with each other. When the programs are written, in any of many languages
that can use these libraries, functions are called from these libraries
that ARE the program.

Current files on your PC are other runtime environments. The VB6 runtime
is installed with XP, so you never had to d/l that. Many of the DLL files
in the Windows tree are used for program libraries. DLL stands for
Dynamic-Linked-Libraries.

So it is just a huge runtime set of files. It is not a program. It does
not 'run'. DirectX is another runtime library.
