In Italy, we pursue the principle of economy. According to that principle, Frustra fit per plura quod potest fieri per pauciora [It is futile to do with more things that which can be done with fewer].Originally Posted by ntg
With reference to programming languages, we Italians believe that it is futile to do with more resources (those required by the .NET Framework) that which can be done with fewer (those required by a standalone native application).
So the smaller an application is, the better, on condition that it does everything you want it to do. The 5MB limit simply represents perfection.... at least according to the Italian way of thinking!
