A coworker in our IT department says he never installs .NET framework
because it slows down the computers.  Is there any truth to this?  I
told him no way, but he keeps swearing it does.  Is he right or wrong?
Is there any article regarding this that I could show him?

..NET Framework is involved only when .NET application is started.

Your coworker is not right. If he has no .NET Framework then he doesn't use
any .NET app. That is if he will install framework then computer performance
will not suffer as there are no .NET apps installed.

OTOH if .NET app is written badly, then it is not framework's fault that
performance downgrades

IMHO...

There is virtually no difference between a computer that has the
framework installed and one which doesnt (apart from the disk space
taken up by the assemblies).

..Net does not affect the performance of the underlying system.

just my 2c

..NET framework runtimes are more or less like common DLL and/or COM+
components. If you have no application that uses them, they set quietly on
your harddisk and never consumes system resources other than harddisk space.

That said, if you never defrag your hard drive, the .NET framework can slow
down a system simply because it's large and file fragmentation is high.
After any install of a large piece of software, you should defrag.

Oh so it's not a service or a process that is up and taking memory
however small?

No, except you're going to run a serivce (or anything that'll be resident in
memory) that is written with .NET libraries.

Agreed to some degree, how come something that just sit on the harddisk slow
down something that's already been installed because of disk fragmentation?
I think it's the reverse - install .NET runtime on a fragmented HDD space
will slow down the performance of the .NET runtime. :P
