Microsoft Releasing Source Code - WoW!

No Lies. Seriously. Microsoft are releasing all the source code for their latest and greatest Microsoft Development Platform known as ".net Framework 3.5".

Basically it what all Vista and Windows based products will be built on going forward into the future. Fortunately for MS and unfortunately for the open source guys they have released it under what they call

"Microsoft Reference License (Ms-RL)"

Which means that you can only use it as a reference purpose. Yes you allowed to roll your eyes now. But hey! Its better then nothing. Its going to make debugging your applications a whole lot easier.
