The big glaring example on the top of my mind is compatibility with VMware, particularly View and the View Agent. View Agent DOES NOT play nicely if installed after .net - so removing .net and then installing it again after installing the agent is the official VMware method. It has nothing to do with Linux-elitism - sounds like you should remove the chip from your shoulder. Sorry Gregg,

It is so deeply embedded in Windows that if anything even remotely odd happens to it, some parts of Windows stop working right; and even experts in the .NET framework (believe me, I hired one who used to work on the .NET team at Microsoft when a client tried uninstalling part of the .NET framework and completely goofed-up his copy of Windows) can't fix it. Do NOT fiddle with the .NET framework. Trust me on this. It's just not worth it. And it's stupd, in any case. It's the sort of thing which only a Linux-preferring, open-source-only, Microsoft-hating knucklehead who thinks it's cool to disable certain Windows things and replace them with third-party things which s/he perceives are superior (or will at least make him/her look "cool") in the first place. The .NET framework doesn't hurt anything. It's as much a part of Windows as the desktop, or Explorer, or the TCP/IP stack. Uninstalling any part of the .NET framework, or failing to keep all available versions of it always up-to-date is just stupd. Seriously. STUPID. Those who do it, and screw things up and end-up completely re-installling Windows get exactly what they deserve. ___________________________________ Gregg DesElms Napa, California USA gregg at greggdeselms dot com I could not more strongly recommend against uninstalling (or, really, even messing very much with) the .NET framework on any copy of Windows.
