It's also an MS automatic update download for XP (and included in some XP
SP) IIRC. So if you're in a company and have the updates managed locally
then it should be fairly trivial to push it out to all XP machines.

Sounds like you were running low on hard disc space or RAM, how old was the
machine?

Making things easier for developers has a positive knock-on effect for
users.
Anyway, I would guess that most people have some version of .net installed
by now anyway so I doubt it's such a big issue as a few years back.
