Is Shared Source .Net a big deal? Joel and Miguel weigh in

My opinion is exactly as it is written in the article: My thoughts exactly:
?Microsoft releasing the source code to the .NET libraries may seem very cutting edge, but it?s really just going back to doing something they?ve done since the beginning of time."
Releasing the source of .NET libraries is the same as releasing the source of C runtime or MFC. It is very useful for developers. If something does not work right in the library then developer can see why and maybe find the workaround easier. However, I do not see any reason for the "buzz" about the microsoft "opening the source". It is not news at all.; Posted by: pauliusp Posted on: 10/05/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
