Ya, I was thinking of something similar.

Anyone think there is a chance that Microsoft will distribute it out on CD's for free? I figure if AOL can throw out that many CD's, Microsoft can also, especially if they are real serious about it. Heck, they could even put the MSN software on em just so there is a chance they could make money of the CD's. If they put these CD's in the mail, stores, etc... The framework would get out there much sooner.

Also, whats the deal with it not being on the Windows Update site? That is the FIRST place they should put it.

With them launching .NET to us developers, they are saying the Framework is done.... So they should be getting it out to windows users for us.... They say they are thinking about us (developers) with this release, and they really want it to work, but they want us to distribute the framework.... sorry, getting a little frustrated with them....lol
