Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Platform Update 1 KB2478063 Service Pack 5 Feature Set 3.1 R2 November Edition RTW

Read Original

The article discusses the release of a .NET Framework update, criticizing Microsoft's complex and marketing-driven version naming (e.g., '.NET Framework 4 Platform Update 1 KB2478063'). The author argues for a simpler major/minor versioning system (like .NET 4.1) that is clearer for developers and managers, comparing the situation to Java's update complexity and citing other developers who share this concern.
