Microsoft doesn't want to limit indie Xbox One RAM access - everybody gets "full pool of resources"

OK, you can't install Java.  There.  That was simple. 

Java applications won't run on any computer where the Java Runtime isn't installed.  Doesn't matter how you programmed it.  Doesn't matter if you compiled it.  It won't run.  If you don't have access to the OS, you can't install the runtime or for that matter to get Java to work.

Yes, you can. Put the runtime. On the game disc. Rewrite it so it doesn't need "installed" but just works from the game disc (it's open source).

The same is true with .Net.  If the Xbox One didn't support .Net development out of the box, you wouldn't be able to add .Net to the Xbox One and make it work.  The runtime has to be installed on the device before it'll work. 

But you can do everything DotNet does, including reimplementing its API (Mono has done most of the work here), without an install.
