Why is installing .Net 3.5 SP1 so slow? - Super User:
Final Windows 8 is finally available, and it comes without "old" versions of .NET framework.
There is only .NET 4.5 pre-installed, and it "backward compatible" with .NET 4.0.
But there is many programs that are written in .NET 3.5, 3.0 or 2.0 that is not pre-installed.
And installing .NET 3.5/2.0 is super-slow on Windows 8. It could be 10 minutes on "normal" PC.
Windows 7 had .NET 3.5 pre-installed, that is "backward compatible with .NET 3.0 and 2.0.
.NET 4.0 that came latter had to be installed, and there are MANY (security) updates.
All in all, Windows in not quite .NET friendly. And that is main development platform for Windows.
Maybe recent improvements in C++ and JavaScript, along with their integration to WinRT,
will make a better alternative...
