Wouldn't the fact that you need to deploy your .NET application with a
giant 23mb framework rule it out of being used for serious commercial
applications, except maybe those apps that will be huge in size anyway?
 
Not really since the framework is shared with many other applications.
People also seem to make commercial software with the directx
redistributables.

Most people offer two versions of download, one with and one without the
framework.

To add to the previous post.. .NET framework is fast becoming
ubiqitious in most of the windows machines, either through direct
download or windows updates.. From the next version of windows.. you do
not have to worry about the existence of the framework at all...

Vista includes it by default?
 
You _will_ have to worry, because new versions of framework will be
released more often than new Windows versions. ;)

Yes, but presumably these will always be included with automatic
updates as a part of the OS rather than an *optional* feature. I have
not verified this as fact, however.
