Andy Mulholland posted about this important piece of information, which I think will be very significant for .NET programmers and also for the world at large:
.NET Framework Library Source Code now available
you’ll be able to dynamically load the debug symbols for .NET Framework libraries and step into the source code. VS 2008 will download both the symbols and source files on demand from the MSDN reference servers as you debug throughout the framework code.
This is a very different move from the usual MS strategy of keeping the code to themselves.
think that enabling source code access and debugger integration of the .NET Framework libraries is going to be really valuable for .NET developers. Being able to step through and review the source should provide much better insight into how the .NET Framework libraries are implemented, and in turn enable you to build better applications and make even better use of them.
I would like you all to comment out on this one as it is a significant developement in the future of dotnet technologies.

This would be a good news for dotNet fans out there.
I also think it would be very helpful if it really happens. From the developer perspective its cool that I would be able to fix or add some new features/methods to the framework.
But from a client perspective "WHO CARES :)"
Although it looks a good step towards dotNet growth.
