Some random thoughts on software development

.NET Source Code Released to VS2008 Developers

visualstudio.gifBack in October, I wrote a blog post about Microsoft’s plans to make the source code of .NET available under a “look; don’t touch” license to VS2008 developers. At the time, some were predicting it was the end of open source, and some were predicting it was the start of Microsoft going open source with .NET. Whether either extreme will come to pass is unknown (though also highly unlikely in my view), but time may well begin to tell. As of this week, Microsoft have begun the roll-out of that source. More details (including how to access the sources) are available over on Scott Guthrie’s blog.

    Nice! Thanks Dave. And thanks for the link to Scott’s site. Now that’s one worth subscribing to (not to imply yours isn’t ;))
