Although this is a very good thing (and something I have
missed from day 1 starting out with .NET), I think
'awesome' and 'incredible' are very strong words for
something that should have been possible from the
beginning imho.
'Finally,' is the word I would have chosen :)
I concur. Delphi has had that for years. They didn't
care about getting their source code out to developers,
because it's not like anyone is going to resell it.
Now if only they clear up the legal dark cloud
surrounding all of this, it'd be actually usable...
@Vijay: Well actually this has caused some problems for
the mono developers. You are not allowed to contribute
to mono, if you have read source code from ms .net
relevant for the contribution prior to contributing.
Microsoft will sue novell/mono if they think that mono
contains derivatory work or work infringing ip.
So, like Guy says: 'finally', but we already have mono,
that have been doing this under gpl (and other open
source licenses) since the beginning.
And to Rick: yes, exactly.
When this service will be available ? I´ve tried with
the VS 2008 RTM version today and the URL was not
enabled. The post in Scott´s blog: Published Wednesday,
