Do I need net framework? Are there any risks to uninstalling it?


If like me, you use Yahoo Messenger, it apparently requires #4. There's
a couple trouble reports for YM not working right in Vista and XP where
the solution was to remove Java, Net 4, and something else, then reinstall.


The picture here, of the layers in the stack, makes it
hard to understand why they'd need .NET 4. The two
components listed are Parallel LINQ and Task Parallel Library.

You'd think there would be enough support for Threads,
in some other lower layer of the "cake".

There's even an article on Threading for .NET 1.1.
So basic threading was there from the beginning.

I suppose they could have done it, just to force users
to download .NET 4.0.
