[RESOLVED] Which OSes come with the Framework preinstalled?

Hi, I found some information that the .NET Framework auto-installs only with Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition (both version 1.0) and MS Server 2003 (version 1.1).

Is this information correct? I am asking because I'd like to know whether I have to include the network in my software or mention a download link.

Regards

I wasn't aware that the Framework was preinstalled on Media Center or Tablet PC, but I can vouch for the fact that it is in Server 2003 and it is not in XP SP2. If you're using VS.NET 2003 then you should install the bootstrapper plug-in and then all your installers will include the Framework by default. You can then distribute just the MSI file if you want a small download for those who already have the Framework installed or you can ZIP the whole package and they will run Setup.exe and it will install the Framework automatically if required.

And Vista.
