It creates a native image of the assembly for the current processor/OS it was executed on.
Well "native" delphi code won't run too well without a number of windows DLLs either, therefore native delphi code still requires "a" framework. It is just that the .NET framework isn't always installed by default. You have to be careful when trying to split hairs. One company (can't remember which now) actually provided a sandbox solution for .net applications. It was mighty expensive IIRC.
