.NET Framework Downgrade

Xusix OS previously used the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 for it's integration with Windows, however to keep older systems capable of using the OS, and to increase performance and decrease installation time, we restructured the OS to use .NET Framework 2.0 instead, as it is much more commonly used in older systems, and pre-installed on many newer systems.

Installer Update

A huge update for the Xusix OS Installer is nearing completion, with the capabilty of directly installing the OS on any system without need for any .NET framework (in Windows XP or higher).  With only one click, the entire OS is installed on your computer, configured for optimization with your system, and then started up.  It now takes under a minute (on a fast connection) to be using the most recent release of the OS.  Along with the fast auto-installer, is a new updater that is built right into the OS, allowing the components to be updated right when they are released, without needing to run another program or visit the update website.  It can be configured to download and install the updates without even prompting, making the installation virtually effortless.
