If you have any doubts about using the MS runtime and living by any quirks, there is an alternate runtime offered at the nlite website. Personally I have used it just before mastering a new install disc and then I wiped the partition with the new OS - I can't see any residual effectsbirrbits wrote:doesnt use of .NET imply a .NET user (stupid frog icon) and therefore fast user switching service enabled?trip_out wrote: It needs it only to create the CD, which you then use to install the stripped down OS (without .NET). Plus they link to an alternative runtime. In any case, it is just a runtime for applications written in .NET - it doesn't reside in memory unless it is in use, and therefore doesn't really bloat a system.
