   I didn't realize the .NET Framework was a car.  Do you want to cover =
every type of object?

  You know Rich, when you buy a new car the first thing you don't have =
to do is go lookup to see if there were any recalls, all the recall work =
has already been done.

       The initial framework install was optional.  The updates were =
classified critical and would be automatic unless you disabled automatic =
updates and notifications.

      I wasn't even addressing the issue of WHY I had to install it, =
just the issues of installing an exploitable version right from =
windowsupdate and getting no warning that it was making me exploitable =
and that I should go back and run a second check and then when that was =
done no warning that I should go back and run a windows update scan for = a
THIRD TIME.

      Why can't they just patch the stupid .NET framework distribution =
so it's current when you install it? Is there some reason for the repeat =
trips to windows update? (should I create my own slipstream install =
Rich?)

           If you don't have applications that use the .NET Framework =
then don't install it.  That's what I suggest to people.  I make the = same
suggestion regarding Java.  Sun's Java download is not just = unnecessary
if you don't have an application to run.  It is unfriendly = enough to
configure itself to always run.

          I've so far avoided anything that required it, I don't see why =
