I've seen only two:

The first is Overnet. And it was such a stupid decision that they had
to reconvert it to Win32.

The second is Norton Ghost 2005. The moment I downloaded it and noticed
that it was a .NET app, I deleted it and continued using Ghost 2004,
which by the way has an excellent protected-mode DOS version that I can
put on a floppy disk, without any dependency on the .NET crap.
