There are actually other options for that. 

We've deployed custom desktop clients built with .Net to Win98 and Windows ME boxes. Although the .Net platform itself won't run on those boxes, there's a product from RemoteSoft that compiles .NET code to native x86 (including all the .Net libraries), and you can then give your client a single .Exe that "just works". 

It's worked out quite well for us. We get the benefits of developing in .Net, but are able to deploy to a wider variety of platforms.
