A discussion on the newsgroups has provoked me to wonder how many here commit their entire first drive ti the C: partition? It has been my habit for years to keep C: relatively small, knowing that, at some point, it will become necessary to do major repair on that partition. It has been much safer, over time, to keep all non-OS content on other partitions. However, some of the OS policies seem to assume a very large reservoir of available storage on C:. Thoughts? Practice?

  1. Dmitry Filimonov looks like I was wrong .NET 3.5 in Win7/8 is not needed. According to http://developers.de/blogs/damir_dobric/archive/2012/03/29/support-for-net-framework-on-windows-8.aspx Win8 will prompt you to download and install .NET 3.5 when app needs it. However, the whole bunch of in-place and side-by-side .NET installments and requirements is quite tangled.

  2. +Ilya S You won't see .NET 3.5 in the Programs listing of Windows 7 because it's a Windows Feature, like IIS.

  3. Yep Anthony Frazier, but the real question is does it really needed for RAD Studio installation to install .NET 3.5 feature on Win7 when you have .NET 4.0 installed only.
