Yes, Win2k along with the Windows .NET SDK are required for you to work withC#.

This question is answered on the many .NET FAQs that have already sprung up.
I link to all of them at http://www.dev-archive.com/dotnet/resources/
Short answer: yes, C# +will+ run on Windows 98 when released sometime in
2001.
Today, however, the pre-beta of C# (more commonly known as the .NET
Framework SDK) only runs on Windows 2000.

..Net on Win 98.1) Download the .net from Microsoft.
2) Open the setup.exe with WinZip and extract all files to some directory.
3) Run instmsi.exe . This should run pretty fast.
4) Run comsdk.msi . This one hung up on me for a long time. I killed the
process a few times before it took. It got hung up aobut 20% through the
install. When it finally went this step took about 10 minutes to install.
Your times may vary =)
5) Run comredist.msi . This step installed pretty fast. This registers most
of the .dll's needed to run .net it seems.
