A legitimately useful feature of windows 8: It apparently automatically detects if an app needs certain common frameworks to run that you don't have on your system (.Net for example) and downloads/installs the framework automatically.
OMGz, does that mean people will finally stop crying for vcomp100.dll?

I guess that's similar in nature to a number of package managers on Linux. Makes sense that such a feature is put into Windows 8 for apps; I'm sure MS wants to make the experience as easy and smooth as possible. I assume it'll update things accordingly as well.

Won't the program need to be installed for that to happen, since dolphin just unzips and you run from there.
