Its New!!

Vista is comparatively new. We must give it a go and try not to constantly
compare it with what went before. Microsoft said that it would run lots of
maintenance programs in the background. One because people want to get on
with other computing tasks while carrying out mundane maintenance, but
perhaps more importantly, because MS knew so many people would never carry
these tasks out, if left to their own devices. Updates are one such task.
Updates are important because they block holes that virus makers have found.

So, how did your updates for .NET go?

Feel more secure now?

Explain Net ?

Full name: .NET Framework. It's from Microsoft and is used for some ATI
cards and other programs. Go to Windows Update and you will see them listed.

So how did your Ubuntu updates go? There are lots of them also

A "snippit" from wikipeda:

The Microsoft .NET Framework is a software component that can be added to or
is included with the Microsoft Windows operating system. It provides a large
body of pre-coded solutions to common program requirements, and manages the
execution of programs written specifically for the framework. The .NET
Framework is a key Microsoft offering, and is intended to be used by most
new applications created for the Windows platform.

The pre-coded solutions that form the framework's class library cover a
large range of programming needs in areas including: user interface, data
access, database connectivity, cryptography, web application development,
numeric algorithms, and network communications. The functions of the class
library are used by programmers who combine them with their own code to
produce applications.

Programs written for the .NET Framework execute in a software environment
that manages the program's runtime requirements. This runtime environment,
which is also a part of the .NET Framework, is known as the Common Language
Runtime (CLR). The CLR provides the appearance of an application virtual
machine, so that programmers need not consider the capabilities of the
specific CPU that will execute the program. The CLR also provides other
important services such as security mechanisms, memory management, and
exception handling. The class library and the CLR together compose the .NET
Framework. The framework is intended to make it easier to develop computer
applications and to reduce the vulnerability of applications and computers
to security threats.

First released in 2002, it is included with Windows XP SP2, Windows Server
2003 and Windows Vista, and can be installed on most older versions of
Windows.

It's *another* set of programming libraries from MS in an attempt to unify
their API libraries for different programming languages.

It's too bad that it adds yet *another* s/w layer that programs need to go
through to do things.

Another s/w layer == slower computing.

It's also sad that applications written using the newer versions of the
framework are not backwards compatible with the older versions of .Net.

IMO, .Net shouldn't be used for simple desktop applications, it's real use
is for network applications.

The other drawback is that while it may be easier to use, this also means
that it gives low-skilled programmers the tools to write .Net applications
poorly.

So what is your problem? You don't have nor can you afford Vista so why
are you posting about .net and why are you even here.
Get lost, you're not need or wanted.

Update your .NET Framework and then, maybe, you'll understand.

Unlike Windows Updates, which I wait at least a week to install to make
sure there aren't any problems, I have never, ever, had one single
problem with Ubuntu updates and very rarely need to reboot after
downloading and installing them.
