> Guestimate: You may have installed .NET from the get-go, and never noticed your system slow-down.

Incorrect - I installed .net with the intention of removing it if it slowed down my machine in any way. Although I did not use any actual method of checking the boot time.

>#1. What OS are you running?

Win2K

>#2. What is your hardware setup? CPU/RAM (Dual channel, Speed Rating?)/IDE/SATA(II), etc.

An old 40GIG IDE drive.

>#3. What version of the framework are you running?

Whatever comes with the Standard studio 2005 setup. Not the Express and not the professional.

>#4. What major proggies are you running in the background during VStudio usage?

Nothing. But I thought we were speaking of the effect on boot time.

Now at work I have a DELL 3.X something processor, 512 meg of ram, on which I routinely run the express version of video studio, a MYSQL database, toad for mysql (large program written in dotnet 2.0), and my client program I am developing with no noticable problems. This is a winXP service pack 2 machine. To be fair though, when toad loads up it takes longer then the oracle version of toad that I use on a different machine, once toad is running it works fine.
