The .NET Framework has already been bundled into XP SP's 1 and 2. This fact
alone means that it is already installed on millions of PC's around the
globe.

It is integrated as a system component in the latest generation of MS
Enterprise Servers and will also be integrated as a native component of
Vista (Longhorn).

Lastly, for now anyway, most .NET development is happening in the business
world. There aren't too many developers writing off the shelf applications
targeted to the home PC user. That said, as .NET does become more
ubiquitous, you will naturally see penetration into the home user
application market. Right now, though, that is NOT MS's goal for .NET.

AFAIK, that's not true. Installation of the .NET Framework is
optional with both service packs, it doesn't happen automatically.

I believe it does with SP 2.

My point was that MS is/has already made attempts to retroactively get the
Framework on to existing desktops.
