..NET really is another Microsoft fiasco. Somehow, they managed to make
some of the .NET versions incompatible with one another, so developers
are screwed, and people pretty much have to install all of them to make
sure that whatever .NET application they have will run. Maybe.

And I mentioned before the blatant misnaming of the collection, leading
one to believe that .NET is only for programs that run on networks.
Hardly the case, of course, as ATI's lamentable Catalyst control panel
shows us. Also, CDBurnerXP needs .NET 2.0.. Ben Myers

Based on Intuit's "programming" abilities, I'm betting there's a
function in .NET called, "JackHandle" and they found a way to screw it up.
