A redistributable is an exe file (23.1 MB) that can be included with the
setup files or can be copied on CD & installed on multiple machines without
Internet access.
The General user version would be downloaded & installed via the Internet on
a single machine.
For a person who has limited user knowledge then general user install is
automated by Windows Update, whereas, the distribution file can be installed
using the command line switches too.
I hope this has helped a little

What is the difference between the "Developers" and "General Users" links
below?

Seems one is a direct download and the other uses the Windows Update
service.
Also, what is the diffference bewteen .NET Framework and .NET Framework
Redistributable?
Thanks,
