I have never used .NET before, But I think this one picture can answer your question:

Ok, joking aside, I would recommend starting with Basic programing. (not QBasic) just a Basic programing course to help you learn How to program. When I learned how to flow chart programs it really helped me to understand the logic of computer programs.


How exactly is that a fail?

I bought VS2005, and I rely on Intellisense to do my programming. After school, I've only touched VB for its ease of use. I haven't really learned to program, I've learned to use Intellisense. I couldn't sit down and write any program other than a basice x+y program in a text editor. I'm moving away from using an IDE now so that I learn more of the language, and I don't consider myself past a novice level until I can sit and write something without extensive lookups of functions or use of google.

I'm nowhere near an expert when it comes to programming because I have only been programming for about a year now. But I do love what Microsoft has provided for programmers through C# and the .Net Framework. At school we learned C# first and I'm glad of that because of it being very user friendly versus other languages. I tried picking up Python but that was too difficult for me now and also I noticed that most jobs prefer experience in .NET, C#,VB, and C++. But what .Net does is, it gives a guy like me who did not have a clue about programming a CHANCE. And I do know that C# was not available for everyone who started programming, but it has made it easier for the beginners. Plus most of these jobs pay great from current research, so for me I give Microsoft a thumbs up for this one. Now this is my opinion from what I have been dealing with so far.

The Found New Hardware dialog says it's for a printer... as in there is a print button on the .NET Installation dialog when the computer likely does not have a printer installed.

I have 3 printers installed on my PC at home. Only one works though. Not sure how that is a "FAIL" since the installer doesn't know if you have printers installed or not. Should it not allow printing? even for those at work might have 10 printers installed(I have 4 installed on my work laptop)?

Are you 100% positive that the printer install required the installation of .Net? If the printer install and the .Net install are not connected, then this definitely is not a "FAIL".
