And of course it depends what you take as .NET framework, I also count directly related frameworks like WCF, WPF etc. Anything installed by the runtime installer. > Look for the .Net namespace chart (I think v3.5 is > the latest chart available, but close enough) that lays it all out > clearly and then tell us what you think. The fact that it is a namespace rather than a class chart probably says enough :-)
