http://developers.de/blogs/damir_dobric/archive/2012/03/29/support-for-net-framework-on-windows-8.aspxThere are currently log of discussions and confusion in relation to Windows 8 and support for several technologies. These days I was asked about support for .NET 4.0 and .NET 4.5.. So I tried to collect various official information (excluding all internalenCommunityServer 2008 SP1 (Build: 30619.63)http://developers.de/blogs/damir_dobric/archive/2012/03/29/support-for-net-framework-on-windows-8.aspx#278909Thu, 29 Mar 2012 22:03:16 GMT7e491611-45ad-4dae-a68f-c4cb64439510:278909Damir Dobric<p>Thanks for clarification. But, this is ok, because .NET 4+ profiles will support most of required &nbsp;.NET features. Everything else can be just installed (instead of 4.0).</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://developers.de/aggbug.aspx?PostID=278909" width="1" height="1">http://developers.de/blogs/damir_dobric/archive/2012/03/29/support-for-net-framework-on-windows-8.aspx#278906Thu, 29 Mar 2012 21:00:44 GMT7e491611-45ad-4dae-a68f-c4cb64439510:278906bhrnjica<p>And just to notice that .NET 3.5 (that means also 3.0 and 2.0) will be install on demand, and not be included in to Windows 8 installation. The reason for that is space, and Microsoft wanted that Windows 8 installation would be as small as possible. So for the first time when some App needs .NET 3.5 windows 8 will popup dialog for downloading and installing .NET 3.5 from the internet.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://developers.de/aggbug.aspx?PostID=278906" width="1" height="1">
