17. You know it's weird but I never got the 4 upgrade

Dec 2013

and I always have done the automatic Windows updates. There's even a 4.5 but it's not supported by XP which I have. I just had to download and install 4 since I never got it through the Windows updates, and just today I found I had to find it and intall it because another program I was trying to install said I had to or the program wouldn't work. I still have no idea what .NET framework actually does.
