"runtime" gets a bad rap?

A hilarious look into the world of C# and .NET programming, and 
"runtimes" in general.

Summarized in the last sentence: "So Microsoft, wake up, get us some 
nice 1950s-era linker technology, and let me make a single EXE that 
runs on any computer with Win 98 or later and no other external 
dependencies. Otherwise .NET is fatally flawed for consumer, downloaded 
software."

And runrev, please don't ever take away our fine 
single-file-executable-runtime-engine. It rocks. Nothing else like it. 
While we may whine about the size of the engine, it's really a 
non-issue, and I for one would still be happy with a many-MB  large 
engine, if it was still self-contained.

Maybe runrev rebrand itself to distinguish itself from the big bloated 
runtimes like .NET and Java?
