When will the .NET 4 Client Profile be pushed out over Windows Update?

Question

When will the .NET 4 Client Profile be pushed out over Windows Update? Is there a published timeframe, or do we have any educated guesses?

Scott Hanselman said "later this year."

Answer 1

Scott Hanselman also said:

About 6-8 weeks after the .NET Framework 4 launches, the .NET 4 Client Profile will show up on Windows Update (WU) and Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) as it's considered part of the serviceable operating system.

.NET Framework 4 was launched 12 April, so i hope Client Profile will be available through Windows Update not later than 15 June.

Answer 2

It is available on Windows Update now. It is optional on XP and recommended on Vista and Windows 7. See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982670
