Introducing .NET Framework 3.0

[--=ddSHADOW=--]

Vice President S. Somasegar describes the decision to rename WinFX to the .NET Framework 3.0. Now the WinFX technology you know has a name that identifies it for exactly what it is—the next version of the Microsoft developer framework.

Takes up to 500MB diskspace....wtf

Dotnet2.0 is 116MB on my system and that was like a lot to me already.

.NET is one of the most bloated runtimes I've ever seen.

I just stay away from anything that uses .NET.

[ZcWorld]

the .NET framework is unreal at how much space its use up

and the time its takes to install

[LLXX]

Its memory usage isn't that small either.

[ZcWorld]

so its going to kill my test env thats i use thats only has got 192 to 256 mb of ram

i take it

or slow the OS down a lot

?

or wait and see whats happens

[i'm not ophiel]

for some reason this is the thing that cracked me up most about it:

in the requirements section:

Display

Minimum:

800 x 600, 256 colors

Recommended:

1024 x 768 high color, 32-bit

lol, why on earth would any kind of framework have a minimum resolution requirement? that doesn't make any kind of sense. not that i use anything under 1024x768, but still....

I also noticed the following line:

Mouse Not required

Maybe M$ has the same template for system requirements, and someone forgot to remove the video portion.
