THis may not be the right forum for market questions, I'm looking for
an active set of .Net / C# folks to help us locate the right
information

I'm looking for the following, :
- % of Windows clients that have .Net 1.1 or later installed as of
March 2006.
- What OS did .Net first appear in, preinstalled
- Does .Net come with IE and if so, starting at what version of IE
- If you write in .Net 1.1, will that code excute error free in 2.0,
and vice-versa, can 2.0 .Net execute in 1.1 framework (obviously
assuming you use classes that are avail in 1.1)?

We're trying to decide if we can trust .Net pentration enougth to ship
a client app in C#.

If anyone can point me in the right direction to who or where to get
answers to these questions, I'd very much appreciate it!
