Using the same reasoning, why Java, why C++, why C, why Macros in assembler, why not link the programs yourself, the linker adds 'bloat' too ?

java is total difference than .net ... i know your point of view but also c++ and C is also totally difference,.. all of them run very stable and fast like old school ASM programing rulez... for example compile your Visual Basic 6 or C++ application like classic method.... now transform it to .NET ... don't tell me bull_shit it will be the same... and i know what i'm talking here.. i'm not kidding/playing kids games here. i'm not a programmer but i know what i wrote.
i respect your desicion and likes.. i know you like .NET but i made an opinion like anyone else .. for me .NET suc_ks ... you should respect my point of view as well.
