I know. I didn't say everything from Microsoft is bad. So? That won't 
make me use .NET.

I once saw a website of some guy increasing his ego by claiming he could 
do one application a day, in .NET (probably C#). And indeed he could, 
and finished saying "can you do THIS in your programming language?". 
Well I hope I can't. Even the most silly apps used at least 40MB of 
memory. That little thing is one more point against .NET in my mind.

I know. There's also WiX, a free toolset to make MSI-based installers 
from XML configuration files. Released under the Common Public License.

And probably many others.
