Finally. Microsoft is going to make public the source code for at least part of the .NET Framework. And beginning with Visual Studio 2008 you'll be able to drill down into the source code when debugging your apps. No more guessing or using Reflector to figure out what the framework is doing and how best to write your code.
This is a smart move by Microsoft and one that they should have done long ago. MFC was a perfect example of how well a public source framework can be.
Two cheers for Scott Guthrie and crew for making this happen. It's about time.
There's lots of reaction on TechMeme.
