That's ok from mine or your perspecitve. But if you think of a company that will be selling their product/software, telling them to get a new Windows wouldn't sound very nice, would it.

Personally I'd stick with .Net as most users probably have it already installed with some other software. But I know several companies that are worried that a large download might hurt sales. In my opinion, if a software is good, it will be worth the extra download (for those few users that don't have .Net FW already), but that's not my call.
