Please Sir May I Have a Linker?

Good rant by Joel on the massive (and changing) .NET runtime. Joel would like Microsoft to provide a linker so he can build standalone executables that can include only the parts of the .NET runtime that they use. Don't hold your breath Joel. .NET seems to be going the same route as Java -- large monolithic runtimes have become a fact of life.
