Hi Fred,
..NET Framework account
The account was created when you installed the Windows .NET Framework
1.1 update from Windows Update. The account is used by .NET Framework
enabled applications to run in a
lower and therefore a more secure context then running under your account
(which may be an administrator or some other highly privileged account).
Removal or modification of this account may break any .NET Framework
applications. (There are already a few out there and significanlty more on
their way).

The .NET Framework provides a new programming model that the developers can
use to build there applications.
In simplistic terms think of it like the old choice of do I write my
application in the Visual Basic or C++ programming languages. One this the
..NET Framework allows is for the developer to mix and match programming
languages in the application. It is too big a subject to answer in full,
but there are large amounts of detail of what the .NET Framework is and what
..NET is in general at

The ASPNET account created allows .NET Framework XML Web Service
applications to access data in each other if they are using an anonymous
connection. You can still secure the resources being accessed using a know
account instead of the file system using the Everyone group. To directly
answer your question - NO it has nothing to do with Broderbund and Microsoft
communicating in anyway. the application you installed is not a XML Web
Service application but just a regular Windows application that uses the
Framework. More information about what a XML Web Service is at the link
provided above.
