I think that what Roger is talking about it compiler that would compile C# code into STANDALONE executable, not dependent on .NET framework. That IS dumb idea.

And why is that idea so stupid? I don't think that it's unreasonable to think about an application that ships with static libraries (in this case, linking the .NET framework into the application). The deployment and testing is really easier and safer when you use static linking. Why? Because you don't have to test with every possible version of the .NET framework, and every different patch set to check if your application works fine. Did you ever try to deploy and support an application on 10,000 machines, in around 300 different companies? You'd give a leg for a static linker...
And the origional post mentioned that static linking and native code compilation would remove a lot of .NET features, e.g., reflection. I disagree, unless someone proves me that: when a .NET application is loaded, it's JIT compiled to native code (if it wasn't pre-compiled by NGEN), and then linked to the .NET framework, which was compiled to native code by NGEN upon installation.
So, can someone explain me why is it so dumb to do all this on the programmers machine, instead of doing this on the user's machine? The only drawback I can see is losing a few machine specific optimizations (which still could be done by generating several versions).
