You'll have installed it somewhere down the line..

why don't you have .net framework installed? it's needed by a TON of games.

I'm on Linux and what is ".net"?

Just kidding, I actually know what .net is.
Many people around here call it "dot njet" to express their distaste of the framework.
Basically, writing programs in .net is like riding a bicycle with training wheels, except you can't see the training wheels.

Maybe I should put that into context... at my university, we get a few people each semester who think they can program because they know .net. Usually, when they're faced with programming languages that doesn't abstract away everything and the kitchen sink, like Java or C++, they come to the sudden realisation that studying computer science might not be the best thing to do. Of course, there are exceptions, but the .net fanatics who stay are good in at least one other language.

Also, what really sucks about .net is that there's so many versions of it and every app that uses .net seems to need it's own version.

Java doesn't abstract everything away??? As a programmer for decades I find this hillarious... Spend a couple years doing everything in ASM and then, well, you still won't complain about any language use. It is not the language, it is the developer 99% of the time.

I too am annoyed by the various versions of .NET that applications require. That really fills up my list of installed programs.

So if programming .NET is like riding a bicycle, then I'd be curious what you'd call .NET deployment in Windows Azure?

why is this in suggestions?...
should be put in general, or better yet, deleted...

.net is more like, i don't want to program every little thing so ill use a bigger overhead. You can either use it or not, the programmers choice really. Personally i like the program at my university where .Net is an elective to take after your almost done with everything, this way you can have a head start when you apply for jobs that require it. Not that reading a 'crash book' over a weekend of redbull cant fix your lack of experience with ANY programming environment, at least after you've learned at least 2 or 3 to understand how programming really works.
