I love .Net! The positives are that it allows you to do so much with so little code.
As for a rebuild, I usually put 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0. Not a lot of stuff uses 1.1 that I have come across. Windows update will put all of those on, I think.

OK. I bit. I run it on 3 clients. It is here. It runs (I hope?). Still do not see any positive or negative effect......................until........... I rebuild a machine from scratch. I have DOt-NET v3.5 sp1 on running clients. I tried the optional v4 DOT-NET during last month's updates. It bombed/failed. Fine. I can stay at 3.5sp1. I've read to being blind about DOT-NET. Yes, I have mostly RTFM! On a new install should I optionally install the OLD v1.1 DOT-NET base to start the game again???? Then I will just let MS Update do what MS Update does......... :) Best, Duncan
