&gt; In all consumer Windows up to Windows 7<p>So XP and Vista then.<p>Most of the software that comes pre-installed on Windows machines (by the OEM) is .NET. That fact by itself means the amount of software written in .NET is far far far above 1%.<p>&gt; In Windows world you are very wrong.<p>So you&#x27;re saying after the shedloads of money, effort and development Microsoft has pumped into .NET it hasn&#x27;t even amounted to 1% of applications running it? That&#x27;s preposterous.
