Native OS Support for .Net Framework

I thought that Microsoft was going to include the .Net framework with OS
installs. This will reduce the installation time for .Net applications.
When is this supposed to happen and which OS's?

TIA

Its included with Windows Server 2003 and I believe its also included with
Windows XP SP2.
I think it's also included in one of the service packs for Windows 2000 but
I'm not sure of that one. So I guess as long as users are installing the
service packs, they should be OK and you wouldn't have to install the .NET
framework before installing your application.

Also, in future, it will be included in all Windows OSes begining with
Longhorn.

Thanks for the information.

..NET Framework does not come installed automatically either with win2K or
WinXP (yes not even SP2)
 
Win XP SP2 includes the framework 1.1 SP1 on the CD.

It is installed in Windows Server 2003 and Longhorn.
