== What kinda release of Windows Server 2003 distribute .net framework 2.0? ==
 
I just wish this is Wikipedia.org not Microsoft Official website! Fact is just Fact, should never be modified.
Windows Server 2003 was released in year 2003, when .net framework 2.0 was not about releasing at all. For the ever Windows .net Server, the .net framework 1.1 was the default .net framework included in the Windows Server 2003 installation media, also the dot net framework 1.0 was included on the Windows XP Service Pack 1 media. They might be just the partial, runtime or demonstration but they were there, and that is the fact. This is the section to tell the history, why should be affected by anything that is meaningless at all?! <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Janagewen|Janagewen]] ([[User talk:Janagewen|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Janagewen|contribs]]) 02:54, 13 August 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

== What Does "DISTRIBUTED" Really Mean in This Template? ==
 
According to [http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2011/04/04/10149346.aspx 1], yes, and of course, "Windows XP didn't come with any version of the .NET Framework." and "It is not an OS component on this OS." from [http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2007/03/14/mailbag-what-version-of-the-net-framework-is-included-in-what-version-of-the-os.aspx 2]. But what the heaven does the word "distributed" mean in the template? First, distribute has relation with word "channels", with no relation with word like "integration", "component" and the forth. Second, "Windows is not a .NET Framework delivery channel either" from [http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2011/04/04/10149346.aspx 1] already provides the evidence against to this template. Third, confusion or misleading to refer Windows Server 2003 as Windows Server 2003 R2. They are different releases like the relation between Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Only Windows Server 2003 R2 installation media includes .NET Framework 2.0 and that is part of it [http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2007/03/14/mailbag-what-version-of-the-net-framework-is-included-in-what-version-of-the-os.aspx 2]. "Distributed with" is the most improper phrase here, once again, [http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2011/04/04/10149346.aspx "Windows is not a .NET Framework delivery channel either"]! [[User:Janagewen|Janagewen]] ([[User talk:Janagewen|talk]]) 15:47, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
:"Windows is not a .NET Framework delivery channel either" is a disclaimer, not not a denial. The blog post does not deny that .NET Framework comes with Windows; it confirms it. But how did you get from that to claiming "distributed with" is an improper phrase? Anyway, if you have a better suggestion, let's hear it. [[User:FleetCommand|Fleet Command]] ([[User talk:FleetCommand|talk]]) 16:52, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
:I largely agree with [[User:Janagewen]], although I don't think that the terminology distinction is particularly important. What is the difference between Windows 8 and 8.1 including version 3.5 as an optional component, and XP including 1.0/1.1 as an optional component (per the source above)? The correct answer is that there is no difference whatsoever - either both inclusions are listed here or neither one is. Furthermore, there is no mention of the editions of XP which actually included it as an integrated component, nor is it mentioned that 64-bit versions of Server 2003 did not include it (both facts per the source above, once again). In short, this template is a mess per the established facts. [[User:Dogmaticeclectic|Dogmaticeclectic]] ([[User talk:Dogmaticeclectic|talk]]) 16:53, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
::Well, I agree with everything you said, except your first and last sentence. Still, [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]] is a bitch, isn't it? [[User:FleetCommand|Fleet Command]] ([[User talk:FleetCommand|talk]]) 17:11, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
:::My Thank you goes to [[User:Dogmaticeclectic|Dogmaticeclectic]], yeah, I do apologize that I changed this wonderful template and made deletion of what I post here without reason and judged as ''vandalism''. For [[User talk:FleetCommand|FleetCommand]], so many thanks for your faithful reply. I think "Occurrence since" is much better than "Distributed with", because this template explains the history rather than makes some a research. I am so sorry for my rudeness. [[User:Janagewen|Janagewen]] ([[User talk:Janagewen|talk]]) 13:31, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
::::I agree that "distributed with" is problematic. It implies that the distribution method mentioned is the primary distribution method, whereas Raymond Chen's blog says it isn't. (It is an optional component that can be uninstalled.) But "occurrence with" is semantically and syntactically wrong. "Occurrence" only applies to something that can ''occur'', such as an event. And because "occurrence" is noun, it cannot take a proposition like "with". ("Occurs with" would be correct for events.) But computer software can be developed, published, distributed, delivered, licensed or bundled with. I recommend "bundled with". [[Software bundling]] it implies that the distribution method is not primary.

:::::So many thanks go to [[User:Codename Lisa|Codename Lisa]]. The very first .net framework 1.0 has been found in the Visual Studio .net development suite, and found in some Windows XP with Service Pack 1 installation media. For this occurrence, that is not Windows XP distributed .net framework 1.0, but only some installation media. Likewise Windows Server 2003(Windows Server.net) does not distribute .net framework too, only existed on x86 installation media. So if XP has been removed from this template, and its cousin (Windows Server 2003) should obtain the same treatment. Windows 7 does not distribute .net framework too, only .net framework plays the role of part of it... I mentioned "Occurrence since", not "Occurrence with". The noun form might not be accepted by some people, but "bundle" has the similar meaning as "distribute", so if people love to use verbs, I think phrase "Found in" is much better. [[User:Janagewen|Janagewen]] ([[User talk:Janagewen|talk]]) 22:22, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
 
::::::"Found in"? It is not a discovery; it is software. "Included with" or "Included in" are both alright. [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb822049%28v=vs.110%29.aspx The source itself says "included in"].

I am extracting sources from the main article as we speak and adding them along. But if you wish to go ahead and delete "Superseded" column, I agree with that.

: I think this template should make readers clear rather than confusion, so I replace "Included in" with "AS COMPANION or AS PART". So for that, I also put Windows XP with Service Pack 1 onto the list too. Windows XP Tablet Edition and Windows XP Media Center use .net framework 1.0 as part of them, and they are both the products happened after Service Pack 1 released. I change the "Replace" to "Overtake", because that is the more exact word to describe the relationship among them, and correct the Windows Server 2003 R2 as the first OS to put it on the installation media. I don't want to incur meaningless argument but just want to make readers clear about the fact about .net framework and Windows. People who will revert my change should provide enough and strong proofs ahead of ahead! [[User:Janagewen|Janagewen]] ([[User talk:Janagewen|talk]]) 03:20, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
:: My last revision is [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:.NET_Framework_version_history&oldid=623667384 this]. For this modification I remove some unnecessary denotations such as "SP2" following with "Windows Server 2008" and "SP1" with "Windows Server 2008 R2". They possibly mislead the readers about the fact of .net framework with them, and wrong to tell the fact. I also add a comment to Windows XP with Service Pack 1, and that is true. People who are eager about adding reference, please find the information to prove it and improving this template...

== Removal of column Supersedes ==
 
Is there a consensus that the column Supersedes, which has been renamed Overtakes and Replaces in the recent edit war, be removed. It doesn't add anything to the table. It's like saying, before I was 25 I was 24 and before I was 24 I was 23 etc. [[User:S.Örvarr.S|Stefán Örvar Sigmundsson]] ([[User talk:S.Örvarr.S|talk]]) 19:05, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 
:Dear Sir or Madam, I do compromise to this edition of this template. You see, I've no right to modify at all. For that I've been blocked for 24 hours. Eventually I reverted it to that guy's modification. My [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:.NET_Framework_version_history&oldid=623667384 revision] is gone, and I don't want to argue or be blocked again. So you could ignore this word "Overtakes". Sorry! [[User:Janagewen|Janagewen]] ([[User talk:Janagewen|talk]]) 21:43, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 
* Hi, Stefán
: Although I don't disagree with the removal, I do disagree with your rationale. .NET Framework 1.1, 3.5 SP1 and 4.5 can be installed side-by-side on a system; neither bothers the other. But 2.0 and 3.0 cannot be installed simultaneously; 3.0 overwrites 2.0. In other words, if you have 3.0, you automatically have 2.0 too but if you have 4.5, you don't have 3.5 SP1 or 1.1 and programs that need the latter do no operate in the presence of the former.
 
: Also, "overtakes" is wrong. It means "to pass another vehicle" or "to catch up with in traveling or pursuit".

== End of support column ==
 
I thought I would suggest adding a new column specifying end of support dates based on something like "[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/gp/framework_faq Microsoft .NET Framework Support Lifecycle Policy FAQ]". The reason is that specifies a complex end of support schedule based on different versions having been released differently (either independent product or component of something else like an OS release, etc.).

* '''Oppose'''. Hello! I have three reasons for opposing:
# As the source you gave says, .NET Framework support follows the support lifecycle policy of the parent operating system. We already have three templates in Wikipedia showing that. There is already too much emphasis on Windows support in Wikipedia.
# The underlying article does not discuss the support status in a meaningful manner. Without such an elucidation, [[WP:IINFO]] comes into play; Wikipedia is not a collection of dates for the sake of collecting dates.
# Most importantly, there is nothing [[WP:DUE|encyclopedic]] to be said about the support for individual versions of .NET Framework. And that's exactly why Microsoft considers the framework a component. I'll keep an open mind, however, in case you can show me an example.
:Best regards,
:[[User:Codename Lisa|Codename Lisa]] ([[User talk:Codename Lisa|talk]]) 06:00, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
 
Pro argument:
The FAQ does say that the support depends on the underlying OS, but on the same time states that "support will end for .NET Framework 4, 4.5, and 4.5.1 on January 12, 2016.". The support for version 4.5.1 is thus shorter as the one of 8.1 and 2012 R2: 4.5.2 is considered as a fix of previous 4.x version.
As of August 2016, 4.5.2 is thus the oldest version still supported and probably therefore the default version in Visual Studio 2015 update3!
EDIT: 3.5 is still supported as part of Windows 7 <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/195.65.52.7|195.65.52.7]] ([[User talk:195.65.52.7|talk]]) 12:36, 23 August 2016 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
== Importance of .NET Standard ==
 
The importance of .NET Standard is that it a unifying concept between .NET Core and .NET Standard. This will be clear when .NET Standard 2.0 will be released because it the first version that will be compatible with both of: a version of .NET Framework (v 4.6.1) and a version of .NET Core ( v 2.0)<ref>https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2016/09/26/introducing-net-standard/</ref> Its release date is Q3 2017.<ref>https://www.techsguide.com/</ref>
Saying that, I would ask for not reverting [[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:.NET_Framework_version_history&oldid=772679169| my edit]] of this template that added a column containing .NET Standard [[User:اقرأ|read]] ([[User talk:اقرأ|talk]]) 18:24, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
:Hello, {{u|اقرأ}}
:Did you study our [[WP:IINFO]] policy?
:What you say is the importance of the standard itself, not the significance of the values you wrote in the table. Those values communicate zero meaning to the ordinary reader because they are not put in context. Without context, they have zero meaning for the reader.
