Free Download Net Framework 4

I know to some of you this is probably a pretty stupid question, but,,,,.  I have this installed on my computer and from what I have been reading, unless I am doing things I don't do, I really don't seem to need this. Is it something that came with my os (XP) or just one of those things I downloaded one night just because I thought I needed it? I don't write programs, or anything of that nature. Can someone tell me if there is something on my os that needs it?  Thanks,  Share
