This week I am in Madrid, Spain, to install our software for a new customer. They have bought some new PCs, and the nice thing is that there is already a preinstalled version of Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. They told me that there are already a lot of hardware stores that offer this service by default. Hardware stores worldwide: Please add this to your image, too! Thanks!
@Thomas: I think that the UPDATE is not the problem. The problem is that there is no installed .NET Framework. If you start the Windows Update you never will get the .NET Framework automatically, you have to select this feature.

Well, I would say a sane hardware shop installs all updates offered.
And the .NET farmework 1.1 IS on the list.

That would be nice a feature, when we get a new pc I have to sit there running windows update for ages, install .net, install mdac ...
Also today had to go to a clients office today with .net framework on a cd because they're on 56k and can't download it.
