I developed a prototype in C# for the XDA. Application install automatically included the .Net CE runtime. After testing the application for awhile I removed the .Net runtime from the XDA and ran the application to see how gracefully the app would fail without the runtime. I was surprised to see the application still ran. Not only that, but it ran *better* without the .Net runtime installed, because a mysterious unexpected but consistent bug disappeared when I removed the .Net runtime from RAM, confirming that I was running on a different runtime than the one that installed with my app. This leads me to believe that the .Net runtime is already installed on the phone's ROM, but I don't remember ever seeing that in print anywhere on any spec for the XDA. What is going on?
