Top 25 Hottest Open-Source Projects at Microsoft Codeplex

willdavid writes "Via CNet, a link to a blog post with the top 25 most active open-source projects on Microsoft's Codeplex site. As the CNet blogger notes, 'Codeplex is interesting to me for several reasons, but primarily because it demonstrates something that I've argued for many years now: open source on the Windows platform is a huge opportunity for Microsoft. It is something for the company to embrace, not despise.'"

Re:How appropriate

[Locutus]

do you REALLY think there could be anything interesting in a story which tried to sell the idea that Microsoft should embrace open source software on its platform? WTF are you smoking if you do cause I WANT SOME OF THAT SHIT.

I'm in THAT kind of mood right now so I'll say it, What kind of moron would even think Microsoft would accept open source on its platform for any other reason but to eventually kill it? I suppose, there is alot of evidence that shows their developers suck at finding new ideas and if Microsoft could sucker their 3rd party developers into posting code that Microsoft could take, hide, and make profits from( sucker license ) then maybe I could see them wanting this. But it ain't the open source we all know so is it really open source? IMO, no.

Do they have "Feature : Throw a chair" too ?

It might be a good feature to have when a quarrel starts among a project's contributors, they can use this feature to settle things down.

Hi,

Ilgaz:~ ilgaz$ python
Python 2.5 (r25:51918, Sep 19 2006, 08:49:13)

Ilgaz:~ ilgaz$ ironpython
-bash: ironpython: command not found

So, it is not multi platform.

Have a nice day
