This release contains all of the source code an source assets required to build MechCommander 2. This release can be used with the Microsoft XNA Build March 2006 CTP.'

  2. Killing Innovation!!! by mnmn · · Score: 3, Funny

    So Microsoft has stagnated so much, some people there are killing innovation now!

    I wonder how much more innovation Microsoft plans to kill this way in the future? I hope they kill Windows 2000 innovation to benefit WINE or ReactOS.

    To the uninitiated: Microsoft has repeatedly called opensourcing killing innovation.
