It's not a framework, it's a full system with no portable code and if you didn't notice it, has the biggest virtual machine ever built by man. Of course, ms has run a lot to include it attached to it's 'new' operating system. It may be made up of assemblies, but you have to install them all.
You say it's a way of focussing on the business logic, by allowing you to write code faster, but coding faster is normally not a good idea, and as programmer one should focus on programming not bussines logic.

Also i want to point out that maybe for a starter (being a bussines or an individual) it's a good way of grasping some programming concepts, or to make your personal c# address book, but nothing more. Who uses them? Adobe? Autodesk? Apple?, well, ms don't even use it to build it's SO apps.

As my last point i'll tell you a history, 9 years ago, a bussines started a really big project, some bussiness men felt that Visual Basic was the way to go, garbage collector, no memory leaks, not even those gui problems you mention on MFC and such. After many years of work, and many different people working on that project, ms decides to release VS7, they included a converter, which didn't work on big apps. And that's it, ms will eventually discontinue C# and the like some few years from now. Even if they don't, would you risk it all again, just because ms says the same things they said when VB was the way to go?

Take my advise, if you want to do serius programming things, use non-managed c++, if you want to play or to learn use .Net.

Regards.
