Is .net framework 3.5 a superset of 3.0 or like 1.0 and 1.1 are both
going to be required to be installed?

Hi,

Isn't .NET 3.0 a SuperSet of .NET 2.0 and WinFX?

Installing 3.5 installs the 2.0 CLR, the new "WinFX" assemblies for 3.0 and
the new LINQ assemblies for 3.5. Some of the 2.0 assemblies have minor
changes/additions, but they're still versioned 2.0.50727.xxxx. Scott
Hanselman recently posted a comparison of the 2.0 assemblies between a clean
2.0 installation and a clean 3.5 installation. You can find that
information here:
