It is a difficult question. You cannot pack everything into libraries for
obvious reasons. I can imagine a system without GUI, but it is difficult to
do for numeric things. Then, when you say NET, I'd ask which one? Can I
have field buses, multicast protocols, time-triggered protocols in Java?
The next question about non-functional requirements. What can be said about
rendering performance of that portable browser, how many numeric operations
will be required for encrypting 1MB, etc?
