...or Why Microsoft makes my day (not) :-S

Iapos;m currently working on a computer for my dad. Heapos;s got to move to the other end of the country because of his job and wants a computer to surf the internet once heapos;s got a flat. So we/I put one together from pieces of old computers. Itapos;s not highend, but itapos;s enough for the simple stuff he wants it to.
After 3 days of changing power supply units and the motherboard (both were broken and the second power suply lacked one connector), the computer is finally working. So while Iapos;m writing this Iapos;m installing the vital stuff. Obviously, I started (after Windows, of course) with the graphics drivers. Unfortunately, they require .Net Framework 2.0 or higher to be installed. Since the motherboard (probably even the series) has a crappy on-board LAN and my dad was pretty sure heapos;d thrown out the old LAN cards, the computer wasnapos;t connected to the internet and I had to download everything on my computer and transfer it to the "new " one via USB stick.
So, plug out, plug in, download, plug out, plug in. I started the exe. And what did it tell me (after restarting the computer)? It needs Microsoft installer 3.1.
Plug out, plug in, download, plug out, plug in. Microsoft Installer didnapos;t take long to update and soon enough I was ready to install .Net Framework. Except... It seems Microsoft decided not to pack everything into the downloaded .exe and needed to download the remaining 73MB. Which left me with one big problem: I had no internet on that computer.
So basically you can say: No internet -> no .Net Framework (at least not the latest version) -> no graphics drivers (and a lot of other stuff) -> no properly functional computer. Thank you, Microsoft.
I can understand it if people want to make the exe smaller by downloading some of the stuff during the installation process. Iapos;m perfectly fine with it when itapos;s an internet related application, like my firewall. If I donapos;t have internet, I donapos;t need a firewall. But the .Net Framework is not directly internet related. A lot of programs, at least some computer games and obviously even the ATI Catalyst driver need it. Not every computer has access to internet, but even those without may need .NET Framework, so I think it pretty bad style to make the installation rely on internet access. Just my humble opinion.

(The problem is solved for me, by the way. I found one of the LAN cards that my dad supposedly threw out.)
