Points of view. What is hilarious to me is using .NET to develop desktop applications. I am still waiting for a logical answer to the following question: why should I use a main battle tank to kill a mosquito? Isn't a swatter enough? Similarly, why should I force the user to download a 35MB Framework to make my application run when I can reach the same result without the overkill? Why should I pay thousands of euros to buy some software (such as Thinstall) which allows me to embed the FW within the executable when I can just tell the FW where to get off?
