I downloaded a calendar program that also installed ".NET Framework"
I uninstalled the calendar... pure crap.
Does ".NET Framework" have any usefulness, or should I uninstall it as
well?

No..... your computer worked before it was installed your computer will work
after you get rid of it.
I know three fifths of bugger all about this stuff but .NET is some new
MicroCrap crap which is another layer of shit MicroCrap are layering on top
of their other crap to 'consolidate' programming under Windows.
The fact that this calendar program had to install bits or all of the .NET
framework just so it could tell you what day of the week it is and was shit
at doing that just tells you it is a shit piece of software...... probably
written in Visual NET or some other MicroCrap Crap....
You can now get Borland Turbo Delphi for free and write applications for
commercial use. That uses the .NET framework BUT produces stand alone
executables that do not need to install .NET crap on your computer to work.
Fortunately Homer has me on plonk so he won't be able to comment on the crap
I just wrote.

You'll need it if you ever intend to run any software written in Microsoft's
".Net" languages (C#, VB.net, etc.). If you know the framework wasn't
installed before using the calendar program (something that might not be
clear -- a crappy calendar program is liable to try to install the framework
even if it was already present), then you can safely remove it.
Worst case you'd just have to visit Microsoft.Com and re-install the framework
if suddenly some program refused to run...

Most of the replies you've received were correct but nobody said it was
MS replacement for the loss of Java....I try not to load it but it is
becoming
harder to run without it. For instance, the professional version of
Quickbooks
requires it as do the HP printer driver though the later may only be for
that
stupid photo publishing crap I don't want in the first place!
..NET does indeed appear to be more crap upon crap |

No. My surfing around says it's standard on Server 2003 and Vista.
".NET Framework" shows as an installed program in add/remove programs.

Its logically similar to Java's runtime. If you have apps that require
it, you need it.
I'm not sure how one would do this on a Windows platform, but see if
there is some sort of process and/or resource tracking app. that can
tell you what components are using memory. Microsoft (according to some
wizards) has a habit of loading lots of crap (DLLs, etc.) into memory at
startup so that apps will load faster when called up. If the .NET
runtime does this and you don't need it, either turn off this preload
(I'm not sure how) or delete it.

not by itself, you might come across other software that uses it
but by then you may need to upgrade it anyway

Most people are migrating to managed code now, so be it java runtime
or .net framework its probably worth keeping. It's not (or was not)
standard on XP either BTW. |

Yes, but more and more people are using .net. Once installed, thats
it.

Actually, its probably more robust and secure than any borland app.

Borland Delphi just wraps up MFC anyway, so therefore it is just a
layer of crap sitting upon windows. Might as well just do it in c#.
You can get the Visual Studio Express for free now too, and you are
even allowed to write commercial code with it. If you dont want .net,
then use the free Visual STudio express c++ edition and write an
unmanaged c++ MFC application.

Removing and reinstalling software may lead to corruption.

It's a windows thing - once it is on there, you might as well leave it be. I got
it with an ATI graphics driver. |
