What's the point? That the .Net framework is as big as a big RB app?
Don't understand, since you need to download the framework only once.
Moreover, Vista will surely include .Net. Doesn't XP offer the
framework by means
of the system auto-update process?
Simple apps are really small, while, complex ones like Paint.Net
[free and really nice] is 5 MB.

The only thing about .NET is the size of the framework.
If you need a simple app, your app may be 4 Megs but the framework
is atleast 20MB so thats 24MB to download.

But... It's always a struggle between the speed of RB and the
beauty of the Frameworks of the OS. As said I'm using a lot of
graphics and spend a lot of time in searching for the right way
create it between the relative high walls of RB. RB for me is
only used to create Mac Apps and won't compile to Win.
I'd propose to give Cocoa a try, in case you write pure OS X apps.
Cocoa isn't that
complicated - once you invested some time in learning basics of
the language and basics
of the framework.
If you need to write DB-bound stuff, CoreData and bindings is
simply great.
As I posted earlier, several sites mentioned the fact, that Apple
is going to
implement a garbage collector in Cocoa. This, there will shortly
be no need
for complex malloc/free problem hunting. If garbage collection is
finally available,
you never need to release anything - as in RB.
In case you need to go Window: Additionally, you might wish to
review Apple's developer
site. There is an article, which explains the usage .Net and Cocoa
for cross platform
projects.
Finally, C# and Visual Studio are really nice solutions. You can
even deploy your
compiled .Net apps by means of web-downloads - the user doesn't
need to run a installer
and the app checks for updates for free.
All in all: Starting Cocoa isn't done in 3 days, but any time
investment will give
you very good return.
