In fact, roughly 40% less space than is required today in some cases. This is a significant milestone for .NET. Besides taking up less physical space inside your desktop PC, .NET 4.5 will fit onto your more disk-space-limited devices (like a tablet, for example...). Here, we meet Layla Driscoll, the Program Manager for this project, and Ashok Kamath, the Development Lead for this project. How do you make something 40% smaller and not remove a bunch of stuff? What did they do? What strategies were employed? What did they learn about the overall .NET system while figuring out how to take up less room when installed? What's next?

Does it apply on portable version too ?

edit: That IS rock and roll. Smiley

maybe a single .net framework is not just a pipedream

  • for HDDs - the size is a non-issue
  • for SSDs / NAND based drives - you get wearing by unnecessary rewriting
  • for VMs - rewriting causes the diff image to grow - therefore using MORE disk space

 Did you take these concerns into account when designing the disk size "improvements"?
