The .NET Framework provides a new programming model that the developers can
use to build there applications.
In simplistic terms think of it like the old choice of do I write my
application in the Visual Basic or C++ programming languages. One this the
..NET Framework allows is for the developer to mix and match programming
languages in the application. It is too big a subject to answer in full,
but there are large amounts of detail of what the .NET Framework is and what
..NET is in general at

The ASPNET account created allows .NET Framework XML Web Service
applications to access data in each other if they are using an anonymous
connection. You can still secure the resources being accessed using a know
account instead of the file system using the Everyone group. To directly
answer your question - NO it has nothing to do with Broderbund and Microsoft
communicating in anyway. the application you installed is not a XML Web
Service application but just a regular Windows application that uses the
Framework. More information about what a XML Web Service is at the link
provided above.
