A minor correction. C# is a compiled language. Its more like Java than any of those other languages. In more recent versions of windows they allow you to use it where sysadmins would have traditionally used VBScript. Depending on how far back you want to support in windows you're not guaranteed to have a .net framework deployed to the host. You can always send a .net redistributable with the nano-probe install but unless you're looking at 2k3 server sp2 and higher I believe it is you can't be guaranteed that .NET is installed by default. > > One consideration is that everything we do might wind up installed on > 100K machines.
