>C# requires a ringtone be installed.

This confused the hell out of me until I realized it's supposed to be runtime.

On the other hand, would you be surprised to learn the .NET runtime includes a ringtone?
That's probably why it confused me so much; I couldn't rule out that interpretation reliably enough to interpret it as a typo.
Thanks. I assumed it was an allusion to the .Net runtime having a bunch of unnecessary crap built into it, including a ringtone for some arcane reason.
Autocorrect: turning simple, obvious mistakes into opaque, irrecoverable mistakes.

It's never been clear to me why someone would want this.
