Not recommended, but you can. Then of course all the dependencies
still apply.

The dotnet framework is automatically updated with Windows Updates. I
don't think mdac is/was.

ISAMs I don't know. Since afaik it's not built into the framework,
your mileage may vary.

The legal angle: I would not worry about. It will either not happen or
take many years to wind itself through the courts, with some
compromise at the end.

Over the past several years I have had to deal with an increasing number of
problems involving setting up mdac, isams, service packs and the like on
client machines. Often these are not installed, not installed properly, or
not up-to-date. With 60 notebooks, there may be 30 distinct configurations.
Current Visual Studio (2005?) applications require the presence of the .Net
framework.

Has this lessened or increased the frequency of the problem I mentioned in
paragraph one occurring? Do you have experiences to share?

Further are you aware of any speculation that the requirement of this
framework?s existence is likely to lead to further legal problems for
Microsoft, based on the notion that since the framework is installed with
(or is part of) Windows 2003 Server and Windows Vista, Microsoft
development software will have an unfair advantage over other firm?s
development software?
