.NET Version Penetration

Date: 1 Jan 2010 Comments: 0

If you develop a .NET application it’s a good idea to know how many people have Microsoft .NET Framework installed on their PCs.

I found poor information about .NET version penetration, but This post helped me a lot.

March 2008 June 2009 August 2009 October 2009
Dot Nothing 28.12% 25.6% 25.53% 21.4%
.NET 1.0 2.59% 0.6% 0.4% 0.3%
.NET 1.1 23.22% 13.0% 8.41% 7.7%
.NET 2.0 27.41% 23.2% 23.02% 11.6%
.NET 3.0 17.67% 14.4% 10.01% 6.3%
.NET 3.5 0.99% 21.82% 32.63% 52.7%

The bad news is that only 52.7% of the users has .NET Framework 3.5 installed on their PCs, but as you can see from the table they become more and more very fast :)

P.S. The latest information about .NET version penetration was for October 2009, if you found newer I’ll be very thankful to post a link to it as a comment and I’ll update the table above.
