Just when you think youve seen everything...

Scott Guthrie has announced the downloadable source code for the .NET 3.5 CLR

Thats right, microsoft's flagship development platform is finally transparent. This changes the game so much its not even funny. I wonder if people will start to tailor their code more around the internals of a given CLR version and less around the exposed interfaces... the result? Higher dependency on a specific version of the runtime.

Im disappointed to say that in the few screenshots I got to see of the CLR there were many examples of code I didnt like.

There are no secrets anymore.
