"ohhhh behave"

 

I'm glad i have Broadband then.

 

Hmmmm, if there's any truth in there, having to install .NET frame work would be a pain in the rear.

 

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE

 

Whys that? I'm no developer or such but I assumed people only used this for programming?

Its one thing I've never looked into .NET, poor dial up users though 21mb then 40mb
Wonder what would happen say you install the new drivers and .NET is not installed... should evil things happen?

 

haha to all the people with dial up

 

J/K

 

I feel the pain of dialup at work, so I know how you feel

 

Man! That was so funny, I totally can't stop laughing at your clever joke! You should become a comedian.

Anyways I'm sure ati will keep things optional so possibly people could just use the old control panel or something like that. To me the .net framework is the same as java runtimes... a huge bloated pile of annoyance. Except the difference of java is that it's crossplatform, the framework is just bloat ontop of bloat.

 

I think LZMA compression (7-zip) would be required since 40MB is quiet a piece of software.

 

.NET Framework = EVIL I've managed to keep it off my systems so far. I really hope this turns out to be a rumor.

 

there is nothing wrong with .net framework :s as long as it doesn't **** up my pc its ok

 

Apparently there will be a normal driver package with CP and there will be the ACE package that is the driver along side with the ACE software and CP. So yes, if you want to use the new ACE software, it will be 40 mb but a regular driver update will also be available.

 

what's ACE?

 

Glad my laptop is no longer my only gaming rig (not like a 7500 can do anything).
No more driver updates for me I guess, cause I'm not installing .net.

 

.NET framework has done nothing to my computer except help open applications...

 

why the F do we have to have .net framwork? its rubbish.

 

I have had in for a long time and it has never caused any problems for me either.

 

I have testing apps. that require .net framework,seems to be real stable,used for over a six months never any problems

 

Its Easier to have it and use the Hundereds of small programs that need it then deal without it.

Im sure some speed freaks wont like it clogging up that prestine Windows XP installation they have been polishing
