Linker on .NET issue
Joel Spolsky: Please Sir May I Have a Linker? and Jason Zander’s comments on it.
Basically I felt asking for a linker for .NET to link statically your application, is just kind of conflict fundamentally with what .NET is for. But without that option, it’s painful to ISV: you got a superb development environment/tools and you love it, however, to have the convenience it means your users suffering from the downloading (and potentially go away).
Jason said security is the real kicker. I was puzzled with that. Isn’t that Microsoft’s attitude is like: “Hey, if your application isn’t certified by us, it’s none of our issue!”. So if CLR has a bug got to be fixed and your standalone app is statically linked, would that be a concern to MS??
