Hello Scott M.,
Maybe a little bit wrong with critical part
But if we look at which Windows version .NET is shipped with we can see
that in last years .NET 2.0 ships with all new Windows versions. For
example .NET 2.0 is included into Windows Server R2 and Vista has 3.0
version.
Btw, number of .net apps is increased steadily, more and more stuff is
.net oriented, especially now when vista is released.
24mb is not that size u need to worry about

Hello Claud,
Yep, you need .NET 2.0 (in general all stuff that is installed via
autoupdate as critical is necessary).
Because there are a lot of managed (.NET) application that use .NET
as
runtime to be run.

with

I
C> uninstall it.
