Source code available

I’m not exactly sure how important this annoucement is as i don’t class myself as a developer but over on Coding4Fun there is news on Microsoft releasing the source code for the upcoming release of the .Net  framework 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008

The idea is that you’ll be able to debug directly within the development environment by pointing Visual Studio to a “source server”

Scott Guthrie has a good post that shows how this will work

This caught my eye as i always associated Microsoft and source code with the impression of CDs delivered by amoured car followed by tons of paper work where you sign your life away and promise to keep it in an maximum security facility

Ok that’s a bit of an exaggeration but you get the idea.

I’m suprised that Microsoft hasn’t made more of a fuss about this but it’s good news for developers!
