My point was that no versions except 2003 server has the framework installed
out of the box, it has to be installed at some later date.
The .NET system requirements is located here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/technologyinfo/sysreqs/default.aspx
Regarding the statement about XP recognizing .NET assemblies. The book
"Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming" by
J Richter has a detailed description about how .NET assemblies are loaded.
Previous versions than XP requires some extra step in the load procedure
compared to XP.
