Bundling .NET into your program is a very bad idea. This forces every user
of your game to download an extra 10-20 megs of material that they most
likely do not need. Please don't do it :-) Making a proper installer is
not that hard, also most of the major installer systems offer on-demand .NET
as a standard feature.

The Vista information is obvious. The other information is based on quotes
from MS a couple years ago.
