Vista - Why do we have to install .NET 2.0 on Vista?

Hi;

Why do we have to install .NET 2.0 on Vista? Since Vista ships with
..NET 3.5 - doesn't that include .NET 2.0?

thanks - dave

When you bought or stole your last car did it come with all four wheels?

Hi David,

I saw you posted the same question on MSDN forum:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/For...d/68367718-028
d-4384-a6e0-d04cc1528545

And I have replied there. Do you want to following up with that thread on
forum or with this one? Or both (I'll just copy & paste the same thing what
I said)?

Thanks,

Jie Wang
