Can I remove older versions of the .NET framework, or should I keep them all? What about the service packs?

If you install something like the .NET Framework 3.5, it includes all previous versions. So keep them.

Keep them all? Even if it includes the previous versions?

If you remove them and then go to install .NET 3.5, you'll just reinstall them with 3.5.

Oh, I see. So keep them.

I don't like that these .NET framework is so big.

Some are like 50 mb, others are 150 mb, etc.

Then they added many services and stuff to the system.

Maybe, it is bloated... I don't know... but I don't feel so good about this .NET framework thing.

It adds one service, which is nothing to worry about. The size increases because each release has backwards compatibility as I have explained in my posts. 3.5 also contains 3.0, 2.0, and 1.1, including their service packs and hotfixes.

Well, I think I saw that 3.5 was smaller than 2.0 or something, not sure...
