Hi Joe,

I understand your point. The .NET runtime, however, can be downloaded in as little as 28 mbs (Python, in comparison, is about 15 mb). To check how much you'd need, you can go to SmallestDotNet.com.

It's only developers who have to download the huge, entire framework to have all the libraries. The average end user doesn't need to download nearly that much.

Nevertheless, point taken. I'm not an MS fanboy or anything--it just made sense to to build it in that framework.
