What is MS .NET ?

I Googled MS. NET but don't understand what it is. Why wouldn't I like it?

Hmmm.

MS .Net is a collection of libraries for commonly-coded functions.
Stuff that a developer always has to program for (what happens when you
click on "file->new," for example).

So, instead of programmers having to write these routines each time from
scratch, they point to the appropriate routine in the .Net library.
Saves time for the programmer and provides consistency of behavior
across various apps for the end-user.

The downside, from what I gather is:

1) Some people find .Net to take up too much space on the hard disk
2) Others find that the libraries are not well-written enough
3) Writing to .Net means that programmers are less likely to write to
other platforms (eg Solaris) or license under open source (eg GPL)

The truth, from what I can tell, is somewhere in the middle. I run .net
apps on my windows platforms. Performance is fine. Its size is in the
megabytes, not gigabytes. Stability appears fine. And, last but not
least: There's no .Net app on which I'm so dependent that I couldn't
walk away.

fwiw,

Try "Windows Media Player 11" (beta, but stable for me) for great rip and burn

I use CD-BurnerXP-Pro-3 without problems.
Query re: WMP 11: Does it display the amount of time taken when burning?
(Example: in CD-BurnerXP Pro-3, one can drag and drop files and there's
a line across the bottom that increases to show when the disk is full, BUT
I have not seen anything but guesstimation when trying to burn with WMP.
With WMP there's no way of knowing when the disk is full - consequently
one can end up using merely a small part of the CD-R - that's wasteful.
I prefer knowing when the disk is full BEFORE attempting to burn it).
TIA

Where do I find the "installer" with the repair function? I just
clicked on install and it installed the program.

otherwise

Before I install yet another burner; does Deepburner come with a Jewel
case insert maker?

DeepBurner has a label printer, as for the first question, when you
attempt to un-install cdxppro it will show a repair next to the un-
install choice, you might try to repair before you un-install.

good luck

Good comments. The problem which comes to my mind is that some small
apps which are no more than 1/2 mb or so suddenly require .Net to be
installed. I found one the other day like that. My solution was not to
install either because I don't feel a desire to have yet another layer
of MSware soaking up mb's of HDD. There is also the issue that these
commonly coded functions by MS will not include some things which we
already have from a few apps. Eg Metapad allows me to quit by issuing
the *Esc* key which I have always liked because that's how it worked
in good old DOS and it's easy. But I guess that feature disappears
under .Net. MS standards are not always a good standards.

I also belong to the group of folks who wish MS had just limited
themselves to writing a useful op/sys and left apps to others.

Thanks Craig. I understand it a bit better now.

I'm with you on this one Helen. I also like to know the disk is full before
burning. I make a lot of CDs as gifts for friends and relatives and don't
want to waste one bit of space on them. This also goes for my back-up CDs.
XP-Pro reminds me of the old EZ-CD Creator and is just as easy to use. The
jewelcase insert maker also saves a lot of time and typing.

Thank you so much for that information. I will definitely try that the next
time it locks up/freezes.
