      Hmm, I remember downloading .NET Framework 1.1 (I think it was for a 
MOD editing program for Crysis - XSI6 Mod Tool), and now it's changed to 
version 2.0, so that must have been a silent install, or it was included in 
a gen win update, but if in the gen win update, then it never mentions it in 
the dialogue. Hmm, confusing.

   Thanks anyway Darren. :)

      I've seen this many times in real life also from the "toughest" 
people, this leads me to conclude that Humans are a lot more sensible 
than we suppose, this is because we try hard not to show it. So if you 
don't consider your proxy feelings you're probably offending him/her adn 
that person probably will try not to show it and keep a resentment 
against you.

      I think is true when people say that humans are not logical.

Cheers.

It might have come along with a program you installed from CD or something, 
or with a Windows service pack, like generic XP SP2. It obviously comes 
along if you install development environments.  It's possible it comes with 
Windows Update too - I just don't remember.
