    Scott Guthrie, GM .Net group in Microsoft announced that the source code for .Net framework 3.5 will be released to the community with *full comments*. This will be for reference and debugging purposes only. Check out his blog here.

    Now isn't this great news?

    I think that is pretty sweet - although with an announcement like this, there's been some blog traffic out there suggesting some don't welcome this.

    I think the way it's being released makes it pretty sweet...kind of a neat feature for VS 2008.

    Well... you cannot satisfy everyone. Some people even crib GPL. It is only for genuinely interested folks :)

    Okay, I am a little bit late on this post, but what is the reason that folks don't welcome it?

    Ah, I guess that if I had read the original Blog Post by Scott Guthrie, it was have been a bit clearer to me.  After reading it, that is awesome news!  Pretty exciting stuff!
