Please explain.
Where are you getting a 500 MB runtime for .NET? The framework redistributable is about 20 MB, and that included all of ASP.NET as well as WindowsForms.

Do realize that .NET is built upon an Abstraction Layer?

If you're trying to include the OS as the runtime, then you would also need to include that in the Java calculation, as it rests on top of the OS it is installed upon.
