Some thoughts on V1.1 Framework Release
I've noticed a few things since the release of .NET v1.1, some good some bad.
1) MS has put V1.1 Framework on the Windows Update site, and removed V1.0. That means anybody who uses Windows Update is going to get the new version, so it's probably in our best interest to look at brining applications forward.
2) The msi files built with VS.NET 2003 have a check for .NET V1.1. Which is a good thing. However, the page that it goes to (which is already redirected to another page) has links for both the Framework and the SDK for both V1.1 and V1.0. The page is confusing, and having all those files to available to download is asking for trouble. I think it would be better to have that page be a simple page with one download link (the V1.1 Framework) and a link to another page with more information. That would alleviate confusion, and allow people to easily get the proper version.
