	The '''.NET Framework''' is a software platform for [[Windows]] (98, Me, and NT 4+). It is comprised of a "Base Class Library" and a "Common Language Runtime". The Base Class Library consists of pre-coded solutions to common program requirements, while the Common Language Runtime provides the appearance of an application virtual machine, so that programmers need not consider the capabilities of the specific CPU that will execute the program. It also allows software written in several languages to be run as one application.		The '''.NET Framework''' is a software platform for [[Windows]] (98, Me, and NT 4+).
