In the name of dispelling

decided to rechristen WinFX as

still not 100% sure this
rebranding will achieve
Microsoft's goal, given that
the branding (and rebranding)
around .Net has been pretty
darn confounding.
It's official:
Windows Communications
Framework (Indigo) + Windows
Presentation Framework
(Avalon) + Windows Workflow
Foundation (WinOE) + InfoCard
(now known as Windows
Cardspace) = .Net Framework
3.0. If you want a shorthand
way of describing .Net

Vista.

The effort began back in
October of 2005 with the first

claims that they have had over
1 million downloads since the
first Zend Framework

04.06.2009.NET Framework 3.0 SP1 & 2.0 SP1 on Vista RTM?
Aaron Ruckman: I've received the following type of question a few times and would like to give the answer with some background:
Q. Where is the .NET Framework 3.0 SP1 & 2.0 SP1 for Vista RTM?
A. .NET Framework 3.0 & 2.0 released with Vista as OS Windows
Components, which means that they are serviced as any other windows Component. Therefore, the .NET Framework 3.0 & 2.0 Service packages will be
officially released as part of the Vista Service packages. When Vista SPX is shipped then .NET Framework 2.0 & 3.0 might also include updates in that
service package.
In this case the .NET Framework 3.0 & 2.0 have a service package that will be shipped with Vista
SP1. Vista SP1 RC is available now (
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/bb738089.aspx)
NOTE: The same logic stated for Vista and .NET Framework will also be true for Windows2008 & .NET Framework 2.0 & 3.0, only Windows
Server2008 will release with .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 & 3.0 SP1 in the OS.

be able to gain access to the Base Class Libraries that were implemented into the .NET Micro Framework and CLR code. Both the TCP/IP and
Cryptography libraries are not included in the source. Colin Miller told the developers that the reason behind Microsoft not releasing the available
