Dumb guestion:

Does .NET Framework have to be installed on any client which uses a Web
browser to view/utilize a page served by ASP.NET. Or is the ".NET" part of
ASP.NET strictly a server-side phenomenon?

Nope, they just need a web browser.

Obviously the web server will need the framework though.

If you were developing windows applications you would need the framework
installed on each user's machine.

No, it doesn't have to be installed.
..NET is only in the server part. The client only process the HTML generated
by the server.

It's a server-side thing. pure HTML is rendered on the client.

Of course, for winforms, then the client needs to have .NET installed...ahhh
the beauty of web.

Strictly server-side.

ASP.NET returns HTML to all clients and the .Net Framework
doesn't need not be installed in any client.
