.Net Questions
Lashiec:
Ehm, actually Borland made available for free stripped-down versions of their IDEs for various languages, mostly due to the pressure of the Express Editions (or was the other way around?). Don't worry, commercial versions of both IDEs are continued to be sold, despite Borland being the less successful for various reasons (people don't like the VCL, etc.), and there's also room for open source alternatives (KDE Develop, Eclipse, whatever), after all, OSS costs money to business (support and all that).
I'm going to fix that article. .NET Framework 2.0 works in an OS as ancient as Windows 98.
And .NET Framework is not included at all in Windows XP SP2. 1.0 is a recommended install in Windows Update, as (supposedly) 2.0 is (I installed 3.5 before hitting the site, so I don't know).

I stand corrected. It was not part of the service pack itself; however, if you have the SP2 disc, it is included:
Nope - it doesn't get installed. It's one of the options under "Perform Additional Tasks" on the autorun window.
I think it only gets installed by default on the Media Center edition of XP (not sure about Tablet).

Moving forward, it is being put onto the newer OSes:
The .NET Framework is included with Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista

Ah, that explains it. Thanks for the clarification :)
